Faithful Living, Faithful Dying - End Of Life Task Force Of The Standing C

Descriere Faithful Living, Faithful Dying - End Of Life Task Force Of The Standing C

\nAn important examination of the theological, spiritual, and ethical issues surrounding death.\n \nAt the end of a life of faithfulness comes our dying. To approach it as faithfully as we have our living calls for some serious forethought. Because one of the simplest facts of life-that we all die-seems like the most complicated thing we do. \n \nNot only have advances in \nmedical technology saved lives, but they also have prolonged death, and raise a \nnumber ethical, moral, social, and theological issues. How far should we go to \nsustain life? Is it right to withdraw artificial feeding from the dying? Is it \nwrong to end the lives of those in pain? No matter who we are, dealing with \nthese sorts of choices near the end of life is difficult to do on our own.Faithful Living, Faithful \nDying: Anglican Reflections on End of Life Care brings together the wisdom of a \ntask force created by the 72nd General Convention of the Episcopal Church to \nstudy what faithful living and faithful dying mean today. The task force's \nreflections, published for the first time in this book, assist individuals, \ncongregations, and the Church as a whole to disentangle the thicket of ethical, \ntheological, pastoral, and policy concerns.\n
