Ritual and ceremony are important markers in our lives.  We celebrate births, coming of age, graduation, marriage and retirement.  We commemorate life with funerals and memorial services.  In the maritime ministry sector, we are often asked to mark significant events, and this often involves a liturgy, a ritual or a ceremony of some kind.  In today's episode, we are joined by a special guest and one of my good friends, Sande Ramage, who has done a considerable amount of thinking about ritual and the role it has in our lives.
