Welcome to In Memoriam

This is a space to let the OneSpirit community know when one of our own has died, and to remember them together.

Over the years, so many people have been part of OneSpirit as students, ministers, tutors, supervisors and friends. When someone dies, the news can travel slowly, or not at all, and people who shared a class, a ministry or a friendship with them are often left not knowing. This space is here so that no one has to find out by chance.

When you post, it helps to include:

Their name: including any name the community may have known them by.

Their connection to OneSpirit: for example, their class or year of ordination, or how they were part of the community.

The date they died, if you know it.

Funeral or memorial details, if the family is happy for these to be shared. Please include a link if there's an online service.

A few words about them, if you'd like: a memory, something they taught you, or how they'll be remembered. A photo is welcome too.

Before posting, please check with their family or those closest to them, especially before sharing service details or photos.

You're welcome to leave condolences and memories in the comments. Please reply in the thread so that everything about each person stays together in one place, which also makes it easier for their family and friends to read.

Grief can surface in unexpected ways, sometimes for people we haven't seen in years. If something here brings up something difficult and you'd like to talk, please get in touch with our dear Community Holder, Lavinia (here).

Thank you for helping us remember them.
