How meaning might be found in suffering

Each week, on Thursdays, we meet for Idler Drinks online, at which I give a short talk.

We're not meeting over Easter, so this is an extra, reflecting on the Isenheim Altarpiece and the extraordinarily moving experience of Marian Partington, to ask how pain might be born when so much of it surrounds us.

A written version of the reflection is online here - https://www.idler.co.uk/article/mark-vernons-thought-of-the-week/.
