A Canadian church has hosted an assisted suicide ceremony for one of its members..
The Churchill Park United Church of Winnipeg held what it described as a “Crossing Over Ceremony” in which an 86 year old, Betty Sanguin, ended her life through an assisted suicide in the church sanctuary.
Minister of Churchill Park, Rev. Dawn Rolke, said that it “seemed appropriate” to hold the ceremony in the sanctuary, as churches are often “host and home to all the raggedness of our lives and to some of our significant life rituals: baptism, marriage, ordination, funeral or memorial services”.
“For us, it was perfectly natural to hold this service for Betty in our sanctuary because death is a natural part of life and Betty had lived a good part of her adulthood in this faith community”.
According to the Christian Post, the typical sanctuary seating was removed and replaced by comfortable chairs, tables, flowers and a recliner, which Sanguin occupied during the ceremony as people came to visit her.
The lethal cocktail of drugs was administered at 1p.m. and Sanguin, who had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease, was dead within the hour.
“The children and some grandchildren went back into the sanctuary to be with Betty”, recalled Rolke. “And people began to quietly come and go from Betty’s side as the medicine took effect. It was like a wake”.
Betty’s body was removed at 4p.m. by staff from a funeral home.

Canadians are completely lost morally.
Canada is a dead country.
Americans are lost morally.
See how that works?
Can’t lump them all together.
This thread needs a Jesus Facepalm image
Blasphemy, nothing less than that.
people can die anytime they want by not taking food/drink/meds....
but apparently its more fun to draw the whole community into watch you kill yourself....
Ah ... I see the problem ...
Why?
Yes it can be confusing,
Suffer the little children, Suffer the old folks, or maybe
For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
That is SICK!
Many “imposter” type so-called “churches” out there nowadays. Oh, yes, we’re Christian, we believe in God — next thing you know the High Priestess is a lesbian and it continues to progress to crap of this nature.
While I think that is a problem, didn’t they get Jack the dripper for doing this? Canada needs to do the same.
Well, isn’t that special!
How ironic that the now dead patient Betty Sanquin
has a last name that means “Sweet, Optimistic and Cheerful.”
This from the word Sanguine.
An hour??
Yeah, that’s not how I understood it works.
Most Americans are lost morally.
Yep, it works.
No, I can not claim that the headline did not warn me.
God can no longer be found in this church.
But Satan can.
