Death, What Art Thou?
Halloween is coming. While our version of Halloween may owe its success largely to capitalism, superstition and religion have both helped shaped this holiday over the years. Ghosts and otherworldly creatures will try to weave themselves into our dreams, and our fears will be given various forms – from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Have you ever wondered how much fear of death shapes our theology? How does our mortality affect the ways in which we live out our faith? Visions of heaven and hell abound, and forces in the Church have told us again and again that life here is fleeting and that what really matters is what happens
after
we die. Do you believe that?
What do you think happens when we die?
Join us Sunday and we will explore all this together.
Yours in the journey,
Katie
