Seriously messy : making space for families to talk together about death and life

See all formats and editions

When families experience bereavement and loss, it can be hard for the wider church community to know how best to support them.

In this book, four experienced authors and practitioners offer intergenerational approaches for engaging with questions of death and life in a safe and supportive setting.

The material guides church communities who are dealing with the death of loved ones and other situations of loss in talking together as a church family, in applying the Christian message of the resurrection in challenging situations, and in listening to each other and developing their own insights.

The opening chapters offer an easy-to-read overview of issues of death and dying, and why this is such an important topic for churches.

Part 2 consists of a series of five short theological reflections, exploring traditional images and the language that Christians have always used when talking about death.

The five Messy Church sessions in Part 3 continue these themes, each offering material for a two-hour all-age Messy Church service followed by a meal together.
