What are the spiritual implications for our views on life after (and before) death when consciousness seems to linger after a brain has been declared dead for a period of time?  What can near-death experiences tell us about the question whether we are physical bodies having spiritual experiences versus the possibility of being spiritual beings having an embodied experience?  Wrestling with these questions led to the most transformative moments for Michael during his sabbatical, prompted in large part by Bruce Greyson, M.D. and his book “After.”  Join Michael for a sermon dialog after the service.
