Description
At times of transition and crisis, we need to hear a word from God, to pray, and to mark our transition with the sign of the cross. The course explores existing rites and the theology that they engage for such occasions as marriage, sickness, and death. There is also discussion of how to develop a pastoral response to situations for which there has not been any rite in the tradition (e.g., still birth or entry into a nursing home, dealing with murder or suicide).
