PRACTICE & PRESENCE: A GATHERING FOR CHRISTIANS IN HEALTH CARE 2024

September 13, 2024 to September 14, 2024

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 mental health. Mental health is a hot topic impacting all areas of health care and the broader culture. This year’s Practice & Presence gathering invites participants of all backgrounds to pause and reflect on the contours of mental health in an unsettled age. We all experience mental health challenges—loss, loneliness, fear, sadness. We commonly hear friends, colleagues, congregants, patients, and family members express feelings of fragmentation and unease or a sense of being overwhelmed. Anxiety regarding work, family, community, and the planet unsettles our sense of who we are and what we can hope for. How can Christian theology shape our understanding of mental health? How might Christian faith inspire us to attend well to ourselves, our loved ones, and those in our care in the face of mental health challenges? Participants will explore these questions together during the conference.
