One of my oldest and best friends, Pat H. passed away, two years ago last October. He had lived in Alaska for about 50 years. I count his wife as one of my best friends as well. I went to the funeral, flying from Texas. Pat was not a believer. His wife was a pillar of the local Episcopal church. It caused no friction. The church sanctuary was packed for the funeral. There was not an empty seat. It was about half church members and half local musicians, professional and amateur. The Episcopal service begins with a prayer, often fairly long, often written for the occasion. Three priests officiated, one retired, the other two still serving, all dressed in their finest priest outfits. The first one began, "Friends we are gathered to observe the beginning of a new phase in the life of Pat H., in the company of saints and musicians." The careful distinction got the intended laugh from both parts of the congregation. RNJ
