Nov 1  -  Preparing for Death: A Spirituality of Hospitality
Rev Mark Munn (St Helen’s) and Rev Anne Privett (St Philip’s) and Rev Alisdair Smith (VST) invite us into a spirituality of hospitality as a lens through which to explore dying, death and grief. A spirituality that takes us into the holy journey home to God, and the grief of letting go for all concerned. We’ll consider both the spirituality of dying and death, and how spirituality can support the grieving of those who remain behind.
