TODAY'S THE DAY TO EAT RASPBERRIES

VT3223
This is a conversation in five parts on the spiritual journey toward death. Collin Campbell, a 55-year old recovering alcoholic and Episcopal priest, was diagnosed with lung cancer. Before he died, he talked about his life and struggle with cancer and dying. As a priest he was able to cope with his illness because he had helped so many others face sickness and death in his ministry. And, further, as a recovering alcoholic, he felt he already had experienced dying. The 10 years of sobriety before the diagnosis had been a "resurrection" for him. This thought provoking and uplifting video helps us understand the paradox of illness and wellness living in the same person.
