WED, FEB 21 | 5:30 PM | Harvard Medical School

Is it possible for healthcare professionals to find long-term happiness even in the face of challenging circumstances like time pressure, chronic stress, insurance demands, and poor patient outcomes—even deaths? Is burnout or detachment inevitable? Can we find happiness with deep roots—a solid joy that perseveres?

At this Veritas Forum event, Dean Bernard S. Chang (Harvard Medical School) will interview social scientist Arthur Brooks (Harvard Business School, Harvard Kennedy School) about his empirical research on seeing happiness as a direction (not a destination), exploring a transcendent perspective as a pillar of a happier life, and viewing work as “love made visible.” There will be time for audience question and response at the end. See here for more information and to register.

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” John 17:20-21

Let us pray together for our upcoming Annual Meeting, that God, our good shepherd, would protect and correct us. That he would guide us. That he would help us to approach each other with an open spirit, willing to genuinely listen to each other. That we would be able to discern what is true and right. That we would see first the log in our own eye before we point out the speck in the eye of others. That we would be united in our love for God and love for each other. That this church would be on the forefront of God’s work to renew the world and reconcile all things. That the light of God’s goodness would shine through Park Street Church to Boston and the world. And let us pray together that above all, Jesus would be glorified in our words and actions, both individually and as a body.
