Abstract

Pastoral care and Biblical prayer in relation to dying and death is the topic of this study. Biblical forms of prayers are useful for praying with persons 'in Christ' and persons 'outside of Christ' when they are in physical decline and dying. The research methodology included interviews, observation, and participation. Thirty-nine residents living in Covenant Village of Northbrook, a Christian continuous care not-for-profit retirement community, were interviewed. Residents reveal strong desire to be praying and receiving Christian prayer in physical decline and death. Family, Christian friends, pastors, and chaplains, in that order, were whom residents desired prayer from.
