I was interviewed for Dr. Lucinda Mosher’s new book Faith in the Neighborhood: Loss. The book’s publisher, Church Publishing, describes it this way:

Helps Christians understand the complex attitudes toward illness and death among the many faiths of their neighbors. Mosher lets us listen in as nurses, physicians, chaplains, religious leaders, and laypersons wrestle with questions such as:



• Why are we here and what is our destiny?
  
• What causes illness?
  
• What happens when we die, and what should happen to the body of the deceased?
  
• How does our religion help us handle the grieving process?
  
• How does our religion help us make decisions about medical treatment options?

Much of what I said to Dr. Mosher made it into the book, albeit with relative anonymity. (Like a lot of interviewees in the book, I’m credited as “a chaplain” or “a Buddhist chaplain” or some such thing.)

I really enjoyed reading the book and recommend it to you. In particular, chaplains and other caregivers will no doubt find it very useful.
