Welcome to Death, Dying, and Grief Across Traditions

How the world's traditions understand death, care for the dying, mourn, and remember, with practical guidance for ministers who serve the grieving.

Students will be able to

  • Compare beliefs and rituals surrounding death in at least six traditions.
  • Apply grief theory and pastoral skills to ministry with the bereaved.
  • Plan memorials that honor a family's faith or lack of faith.

This course is being written and will open soon.
