When
men die of illness it is "not God's will to take them,"
according to the Reverend Michael Bolton Furse, Anglican
bishop of St. Albans [England]. Addressing the St.
Albans Diocesan Conference, the Bishop asked: "If physical
disease is God's will and desire, why did Christ, who came
to do His will, fight against it and heal the sick?
I cannot believe," he said, "that it is right to say,
when a human being dies of a physical disorder, that 'it was
God's will to take him.' If I said that, I should feel
that I had blasphemed."
