A Promise is a Promise
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
"Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, Worshipper, Lover of Leaving. Ours is no caravan of despair. Come, yet again, come...Though you have broken your vows a thousand times." --Rumi
Is a promise a promise? What does it mean to break a vow? How do we understand our promises and vows when dealing with end-of-life issues?
We will also hear from our International Outreach Task Force during the services.
