CORALVILLE — How can people view world events through a Christian, hope-filled perspective when inundated with sadness, violence and suffering? How do Christians trust in God’s promises during difficult times?

The keynote speakers are Father Thomas Doyle and Mary Potter Kenyon. Fr. Doyle of Coralville is a retired priest who’s worked in the Davenport Diocese for 52 years. Mary Potter Kenyon of Manchester is the author of “Chemo-Therapist: How Cancer Cured A Marriage” and the upcoming “Refined by Fire: A Journey of Grief & Grace.”
