Sir, Over the past few days I met different people, Christians and non-Christians alike, who attended a so-called ‘humanist funeral’ in Inverness.
Without exception, they were all appalled by what they heard and witnessed. They also told me that the majority of those present were of the same mind as themselves. One man told me that it was the ‘worst funeral I ever attended – it was quite a pathetic performance’.
Why the outpouring of dismay and confusion? Apparently, no mention was made of God, Jesus Christ, sin or the afterlife. The Bible was not read and no reference was made to any word of divine truth. No prayer was heard, and neither was there any psalm of praise sung.
