Geographies And Accompaniment: Toward An Ecclesial Re-Ordering Of The Art Of Dying, M. Therese Lysaught

M. Therese Lysaught

This article identifies three geographical shifts that have altered the relative social, spatial and temporal locations of dying, church and health care, and axiology causally contributing to our culture’s deformed dying processes. It proposes an alternative script for a new art of dying drawing upon the early church’s practice of the order of widows.
