Facing Death Conference: A Christian’s Journey to Life Everlasting

Join The Charles Simeon Institute’s Lay School of Theology for a two-day conference on Facing Death: A Christian’s Journey to Life Everlasting. This is a condensed version of our 6-week course and it is back by popular demand! This conference is for everyone – whether you are nearing the end of life, have a loved one in that stage, or are just seeking discipleship in this aspect of a Christian’s journey. Fr. Michael Petty will lay the foundation by providing a theological and biblical understanding of death. Then, a team of medical professionals and social workers from hospice will provide insights into advanced planning, medical management decisions, and family support opportunities. Mother Travis Boline will then unpack the liturgical treasures found in the Book of Common Prayer during seasons of grieving and lead a workshop on funeral planning. The class will conclude with a panel discussion where all the instructors will answer questions.

Location: St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral, Tallahassee, FL
