PRACTICE & PRESENCE: A GATHERING FOR CHRISTIANS IN HEALTH CARE

October 6, 2023 to October 7, 2023

Practice and Presence is a two-day conference for health care practitioners of faith to listen, learn and discuss together new ways of working in health care. The theme of this year's gathering is: "WHY THEOLOGY MATTERS FOR HEALTH CARE." When Jesus healed, he reversed disorder and decay, liberated people from hostile powers, and restored them to relationship in community. Modern health care tends to focus only on the first of these, seeking to reverse disorder through technical fixes. How might those who inhabit modern health care look towards Jesus’ pattern of healing, and to Christian theology more broadly, to enrich and renew their work? Participants will explore these questions together during the conference.
