Painful Words Removed

On the ground that 1t was not a
comforting thought, the phrase, land
though after my skin worms destroy
this body" was omitted from the sec
ond sentence in the burial ritual.
All reference that it was pleasing
to Almighty God to take any one out
of this world was cut out of the burial
service.
The predominating aim throughout
the burial service revision has been
to soften what are considered harsh
parts of the service and make it more
comforting to the bereaved
To become effective, the changes
made at this conference will have to
be ratified at the one held three years
from now. In the meantime the lam
guage of the prayer book will remain
unchanged.
