A Canadian church has hosted an assisted suicide ceremony for one of its members..
The Churchill Park United Church of Winnipeg held what it described as a “Crossing Over Ceremony” in which an 86 year old, Betty Sanguin, ended her life through an assisted suicide in the church sanctuary.
Minister of Churchill Park, Rev. Dawn Rolke, said that it “seemed appropriate” to hold the ceremony in the sanctuary, as churches are often “host and home to all the raggedness of our lives and to some of our significant life rituals: baptism, marriage, ordination, funeral or memorial services”.
“For us, it was perfectly natural to hold this service for Betty in our sanctuary because death is a natural part of life and Betty had lived a good part of her adulthood in this faith community”.

I do not believe that any suicide is biblical. And I especially believe that those who assist in the suicide have committed murder according to God’s word. Now I realize that a lot of people have committed suicide who were mentally incapable of knowing what they were doing. But to knowingly kill yourself (with the help of others) is simply wrong. When someone kills themselves, how can they ask God for forgiveness? They can’t. And how can someone willingly kill someone else and then say “God, please forgive me for killing this person.” This is sinful and against the will of God.
God creates life, God should decide when it ends.
Absolutely true!
I firmly believe this church and it’s leadership will face some questions at the thrown of Jesus.
Jesus came to give us life, not death, so I’d be very cautious about what I allowed in my Church. All satan needs is a foothold. And that church just gave him 1
Really sick! What kind of church is this??
NWO just getting YOU used to the idea of dying for their agenda. The more they can get to kill themselves the less they have to deal with it and the money they save. Reducing the population to 550 million so they can have a huge playground and your slave labor. I figure man has tripped the scale and the planet will sterilize itself and start over. Man with all his BS and money / ego won’t stop it. Reap what you sow! Glad I don’t have any kids to go through this BS. I Pray GOD / Karma kicks them right in the NUTS!
