I watched the entire funeral. I was impressed with the speakers. I was surprised at the the PrimeMinister. I felt sad for Mrs. Harper. I was proud of his family.
Did you have any comments?
“For those of us who want to see democracy survive and thrive—and we are legion—the heart is where everything begins.” So writes Parker Palmer in his new book, Healing the Heart of Democracy.
This sounds to me like a call to spiritual practice, something the church offers in community. Representing The United Church of Canada at Jack Layton’s funeral last Saturday reminded me of how important this is.
I want to take this a little further than the hymns for funerals ( Thanks Pinga). What readings scriptures and psalms do you want used at your funeral.?
