Action Alert!

a post-Christian memorial service

By ( articles ) | Jul 02, 2007

To honor the dead you can say a prayer, or light a candle, or decorate a gravestone, or... you can get a big crowd together and party, figuring that the deceased would want you all to have fun. Fair enough; I don't think Princess Di would object to a rock concert. Just tell me: What does it mean, in terms of her life and death? Or am I asking the wrong question, looking for meaning in 21st-century culture?
