Easter Sunday 2024 at The Garden

And So it Goes: The Good, the Bad, and the Tiny Space in Between
When Kurt Vonnegut’s father was dying, he said to his son, ‘I want to thank you because you’ve never put a villain in any of your stories.’ On Easter Sunday, we will further explore the idea that, in some way or another, we all have human elements and divine possibilities in this world. We like to think of Judas as the villain in the Easter story, but the truth is we all have aspects of Judas in our personalities. The good news is we also have aspects of Jesus as well. It’s just what choices we make in living the Easter story. This Easter Sunday, we looked at… ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Tiny Space in Between.’

Betty Brandt comments on how two films—Conclave and Penguin Lessons—have taken on unexpected relevance in 2025. Conclave offers a glimpse into the process of selecting a new pope, coinciding with Pope Francis’s passing, while Penguin Lessons delves into Argentina’s turbulent 1970s, raising questions about justice and moral responsibility. Explore their significance in today's changing world.
