Saturday afternoon greetings from the west side of Lima, OH! We came up this morning for the funeral of one of our parishioners. Marian was diagnosed a couple of years ago with cancer at age 83. She decided not to pursue treatment, but to live as fully and comfortably as possible without being tethered to bottles and machines. Her service was conducted by her daughter's Methodist minister, who had been visiting Marian regularly. She'd told him to do the service right out of the Book of Common Prayer and, when we arrived this morning, he invited Fr. Richard to participate. From the audience, it looked like they'd spent hours preparing and rehearsing. We'll go home after church tomorrow.
