Christian Interfaith
and prayer for the dead

This article started life as being on Christian interfaith and has changed into being mainly about prayer for the dead and prayer for those who grieve.

My apologies for the mixture, and I will probably be back at some point to make it more consistent! 

Love, Katherine

My definition of Christian interfaith

'Christian interfaith' is a phrase which has two uses.

I refer to myself as christian interfaith.

• I am Christian because I follow Jesus, celebrate God within a Christian (catholic) service and find much inspiration in the Bible.
• I am interfaith because I recognise many paths to God.

The other use of the phrase is for Christians who believe the only path to God is through Jesus, and yet actively seek a world in which they get along with their neighbours who may be of other faiths or none. There are interfaith groups which meet all over the UK such as my local Swindon interfaith group.

Tolerance and cooperation are the requirements. There is no insistence on shared beliefs - though many are inevitably discovered along the way.

This article is about the modern day Christian martyr, Bhatti. I don't know which definition he would relate to, but I suspect the former.

A Prayer For Someone Who Has Died

Lower down this page, this article marks the life and passing of Shahbaz Bhatti. 

When I first wrote this page I was praying the prayer for the dead for him. 

You may be here to pray the prayer for your own loved one.

You may choose to take a moment to honour those who died fighting for a cause they believed in.

The Eternal Rest prayer is often considered a Catholic prayer for the dead. Many other Christian denominations pray only for those who are left behind.

Prayer to rest in peace - for the living

We don't have to wait until we die to rest in the peace of God's love.

In honour of those in an earthly body and those who have passed, I now say the prayer above for myself to rest in peace and for you to do the same.

A prayer if you are grieving the death of a loved one

We take a moment to think of those we love, and those towards whom perhaps we didn’t feel love who were part of our lives and now have passed.

A prayer after the death of one with whom your relationship was difficult

A prayer for someone grieving a death 

To embark on finding change in a situation in which we feel there is little chance of change, we rely not on our strength, but on a strength we can draw on that is beyond us.

We learn that God's strength is the only strength we have.

With my love, and every good wish on your journey,

Katherine
