This thesis suggests that preaching that makes for good closure can turn a potentially hurtful occasion into a redemptive process. The author proposes a four sermon 'process' approach, and identifies four characteristics of effective goodbye preaching. Sermons and feedback from a parish project group are included in the supporting material. A theology of leave-taking to undergird the process is also offered. The author suggests that when preaching goodbye is seen and understood as an intentional process (as opposed to giving one 'final sermon'), dimensions of faith in both preacher and parish will be deepened.
