Bishop John A T Robinson visited a 16 year old girl dying of cancer.
He and Brigie’s mother arranged a service of prayer for Brigie, and Janet the
mother says it helped her understand “that peace and trust are more important
than physical survival.”
What a remarkable statement of faith when your daughter is dying!
At the funeral, Bishop Robinson said, “We are here this morning…to
go down, as it were, to the water-table, to resources too deep for words or for
tears.”
