The introduction of MAiD (medical assistance in dying) in Canada in 2016 was a significant change in our practices at the end of life. How should we as Christians think about MAiD? for ourselves? for our family members? for our society? This evening will feature an expert panel (see below) who will discuss and answer questions related to MAiD from their Christian and professional perspectives to give you an opportunity to listen, learn, think, and pray through the important issues.
Registration is not required to attend, but is helpful as we plan.
