| 11.15am - The Obligations of the Living Towards Those Who Have ‘Fallen Asleep’ Reverend Father Terry Gerovasilis Reverend Father Terry Gerovasilis is the parish priest at the Church of Saints Constantine and Helene in Northbridge. Traditional Christian practices, beliefs, rituals and traditions, face immense challenges and increasing calls to revolutionise and modernise by the secular world. In this context, the Orthodox Church remains steadfast in her doctrines and traditions. However, the Church is always conscience of her role to embody the presence of Jesus Christ, bring peace to the world and spiritual healing to lives of the faithful. For this reason, clergyman in Orthodox Parishes carry the heavy burden of balancing tradition and transition. Parish priests must play an important role in teaching the faithful about the doctrines of our faith, the traditions of the Church and our obligations – as the living – toward those who have fallen asleep. This presentation will cover topics such as the understanding of death in the Christian tradition, the funeral rites, as well as the important relationship between the Priest, the faithful and funeral directors in the end-of-life process. |
