The 2026 Mercy Seminar will explore what different faith traditions can teach us about living our best life and dying our best death. How can the certainty of death help create focus and deepen gratitude rather than increase depression and anxiety? Is death really “nothing at all,” a simple “turning out of the lights, or “the gate to eternal life”?

Term 2 will explore how death has been understood in different traditions of Judaism and Islam. Across six weeks, on Thursday evenings, online, we will read and reflect on texts from Hebrew scripture and the Koran. No prior knowledge is required.
