Darlene hailed from the Boston area and began studying at North Park in 2008. While a student, she was involved with University Ministries working with commuter and transfer students to increase their sense of community belonging. She also worked with the Collaboratory for Intercultural Learning, participating in their events and leading workshops for the Student Diversity Leadership Conference.\n<p>Darlene\u2019s life and death remind us that life is fragile and requires great care. It also reminds us that we have suffered the losses of other students in recent years. As we remember the loss of these friends, we also recall that the gospel calls us to a faith beyond what we can see, and to a hope that reaches beyond the finality of death. May God grant us grace in this season of mourning, and may God grant peace to the memory of Darlene Kelley.<\/p>\n<p>A memorial service was held to honor Darlene\u2019s life on Thursday, December 12, at 7:00 pm in Isaacson Chapel, North Park Theological Seminary. A coffee reception followed in Olsson Lounge.<\/p><\/span>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif\"><br><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif\"><br><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif\"><span style=\"background-color: white;line-height: 18px\">Darlene\u2019s Contributions:<\/span><br style=\"background-color: white;line-height: 18px\"><span style=\"background-color: white;line-height: 18px\">1.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/rhetoricraceandreligion\/2012\/11\/is-church-diversity-possible.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">Is Church Diversity Possible?<\/a><\/span><br style=\"background-color: white;line-height: 18px\"><span style=\"background-color: white;line-height: 18px\">2.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/rhetoricraceandreligion\/2013\/04\/seeing-red.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">Seeing Red<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif\">3.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/rhetoricraceandreligion\/2013\/05\/when-god-is-not-enough.html\" style=\"background-color: white;line-height: 18px;text-decoration: none\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">When God is Not Enough<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif\">4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/rhetoricraceandreligion\/2013\/11\/suicide-black-folk-and-spiritual-leaders.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">Suicide, Black Folks and Spiritual Leaders<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From North Park Theological Seminary North Park Theological Seminary and University mourn the death of alumna Darlene Kelley, a 2012 master of divinity graduate.
