Goodbye Comes Before Hello

This video features the black and white photographs of Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe intercut with stanzas of a vesper that deals with how to come to terms with change and move forward. An original song by jazz pianist Joey Alexander accompanies the 3:16 video, offering a moment of reflection. Phil Anderson’s words are part of an address he gave to Chicago Theological Seminary on April 14, 1998, entitled, “Goodbye Comes Before Hello.”
