In reply to Lisa.

Lisa, thanks for your comments! You are absolutely right - this is a serious topic and one that the Church continuously needs to be in conversaton about.
The LCMS does, however, support a national and international parish nursing program, which enables RN's and others in the nursing profession to serve church members in this capacity. Please don't hesitate to visit the website and ask more questions: http://www.lcms.org/health/parishnursing. May God bless you in body, mind, and spirit.
