In September, PEW Charitable Trusts released How Faith Communities Facilitate Conversations Around End-of-Life Concerns, a document focused on the interviews that were conducted in order to better understand the relationship between faith communities and dying, and to explore what this relationship could become.
How Faith Communities Facilitate Conversations Around End-of-Life Concerns includes personal stories, and affirms the importance of faith-based community involvement in facilitating discussions surrounding end-of-life care decisions. The document concludes by offering further information including links to advance care planning tools, a glossary of terms, and links to websites of related organizations.
