Ulla Schmidt is professor of practical theology at Aarhus University, Denmark. She is also a member of the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe’s expert group on ethics.
European Protestant churches reflect on end-of-life issues
May 2015: End-of-Life Ethics II: European and American Perspectives (Volume 15 Issue 5)
In her article, Schmidt examines the document “A time to live, and a time to die” a document created and adopted by Community of Protestant Churches in Europe. Grounded in Protestant theology, the document intends to guide the leaders and parishioners of CPCE’s member churches to think about this complex ethical issue, considering both the public voice of the church as an institution and for people struggling with these issues in their own families.
