I always find it comforting to talk openly about death, but I am often surprised at those who feel obligated to avoid the topic. The only time I ever felt any hesitation was when it was with my own Dad, not long ago.<BR/><BR/>Tom Long had a great lecture in Chicago earlier this year, at the Homeletics Festival, and he addressed the fact that we do not teach people to die. While I have a comfort level in talking one on one with people about death, I have to admit that I have not done much teaching on the congregational level.Apostle Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01174541257259998272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876613.post-1126209500012878552005-09-08T20:58:00.000+01:002005-09-08T20:58:00.000+01:00I agree with Lorna.
