Renewal Seminar Snapshots
Date: April 24th 2007
Synopsis:
Dealing with the loss of a child is the most difficult event that a parent could ever endure. In line with this thinking, there are a variety of questions specific to faith that arise when the death of a child occurs. Individuals who serve in church leadership are more often than not confronted with these difficult questions by parents and other family members during the grieving process. During his presentation, Mel Whittington, Ph.D., gave faith leaders insight and tools to address this complex and difficult issue.
