To examine a very hard pastoral issue that the Church is facing. It is here and not going away and it is going to become more common and more "liberal" as it has in Canada. If you (or anyone else who is wrestling with the topic) have not done so, I encourage you to read all the past posts on the topic of suicide and church history/theology (they are linked at the end of the post). It is not black and white. The church needs to be in front of this with some credible theology and pastoral responses because Orthodox people will be looking at and doing MAiD.
