Memento Mori: Cultivating a Mortal Imagination

Last night, President Obama invited our grieving nation to begin a healing conversation that might lead us beyond politicized rhetoric toward a more perfect union. Many of us were touched and comforted by his words as he memorialized those killed and looked forward to a better—though still imperfect—future for our country.In challenging us…See More

About Me:
Oliver Goodrich is currently pursuing an MEd in Religious Education at Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry. Prior to his study at Boston College, he worked for six years in higher education at Gordon College. His main research/professional interest is in the faith formation of college students. Though he has been doing ecumenical dialogue informally in Christian circles for years, he is brand new to the interreligious dialogue scene. He is excited to be a part of the State of Formation community and looks forward in particular to exploring the pedagogical implications of interreligious/ecumenical dialogue. Oliver graduated with a summa cum laude BM in voice performance from Gordon College in 2004, where he was honored as Collegian of the Year. After graduating he went on to serve as director of the Gordon College Choir and Symphonic Chorale. Oliver has also held numerous music ministry positions, including the post of organist at First Baptist Church in Danvers, Massachusetts and director of music at Boston’s historic Tremont Temple Baptist Church. Since joining the Greek Orthodox Church in 2005, he has developed an interest in Byzantine Chant and liturgical theology. You can follow him on Twitter @ogoodrich.
