Jess Wyatt

Jess Wyatt, a Vicar in the Church of England and PhD student at Oxford, dives into the intersection of dementia and faith. She discusses how our physical identity relates to personhood, even as cognitive functions decline. The conversation emphasizes the importance of compassionate care and the role of touch in connecting with loved ones affected by dementia. Jess also challenges traditional views on identity, advocating for a holistic understanding rooted in Christian belief. Ultimately, she calls for inclusivity in faith communities to embrace and support those living with dementia.
