Renowned preacher Dr. Thomas Long spoke about death, funerals, and Christian hope at Canadian Mennonite University's (CMU) fifth annual ReNew conference on February 12-13. The conference provides resources for ministry for pastors and people working in spiritual care.
Gerald Gerbrandt, organizer of ReNew, says the planning committee chose to focus on death partly because of its relevance for those working in ministry, but also because of their desire to have Long as a speaker.
