Remembrance Day

November 11 is a day on which to reflect and to remember. Remembrance Day is a day that pushes us beyond the Reformed communities to which we belong and reminds us that we shine as lights in a big universe. It is a day that jolts us out of our daily routines, and it reminds us that life is a lot bigger than our personal deadlines and plans. These are the opening thoughts of Dr. Smith's meditation on Ecclesiastes 3:2, 8.

Both in Life and in Death

The topic of euthanasia is current and much debated. Does suffering serve a function? Are we to preserve life at all costs and resist death in all situations? Is death a natural consequence of life or is it foreign to human life? Are we to be active or passive with respect to life? These are some of the questions raised when confronted with our human frailty. In this booklet, Dr. Gootjes offers an overview of this topic.
