This teaching series deals with the issues of life and death. When it comes to death (and life) we have a choice: we can either allow our dying to creep up unnoticed until we fade away, or we can live life with purpose, and choose to die well. I have entitled this series Dying on Purpose, in the hope that this series will help us to think about death – and living life well.

This series will evoke differences of opinion. Not all Christians see these issues in the same way. These differences are the result of varying experiences in life, the way in which the Bible is read, and strongly held opinions. Our Methodist tradition has always made space for differences of opinion. Methodist founder, Rev John Wesley, urged tolerance of different opinions. He wrote: “Right opinion is at best but a slender part of religion…and frequently is not a part of religion at all”. I hope this series will teach us all how to “live and let live”.
