Spirituality and End of Life Day Conference
4 March 2017, York
Friargate Meeting House, York
Learning to live
together with all faiths and none means learning how to die together. Beliefs
about death affect beliefs about life, and likewise death and dying reveal a lot
about what believers understand of the soul, the afterlife, the divine, and
other questions.

event, venue, agenda and practicalities are available at
