You are called to the bedside of a dying congregant.
What do you do?
What do you say?
This initiative is a series of four 2-hour seminars developed to help clergy minister to congregants who are facing a life-limiting illness, end of life, or grief. The philosophy of hospice and concept of palliative care will be explored. Specific topics include:
- Theoretical foundations of death, dying and bereavement;
- Ethical, moral and legal issues surrounding end of life;
- Cultural considerations of those who are dying, their families, and those who are bereaved;
- Communication techniques that have proven to help the dying and the bereaved;
- Fears of those who are dying and those who are left behind;
- Unusual communications often used by those who are dying;
- Spiritual care during the final hours of life.
Each seminar is FREE and will be held at the
