Course Description
One of the common phrases that is heard around death is “in the midst of life, we are in death.” Sickness, dying and death are natural parts of the Christian life, and there is nothing we can do to avoid them. However, in the Christian tradition, there are rites and rituals that we’ve adopted that can help us as we go through these phases of “this transitory life”. This course will look at those rites and will examine their role in the different stages of sickness, dying and, finally, death.
