Providing
care for persons at the end of life requires a
variety of special considerations. This seminar,
featuring presentations by bioethicist Paul Simmons
and hospice chaplain Jim England, explores issues
related to hope and healing in hospice, pain and
suffering, and aging and human dignity.
Hope
and Wholeness --

We
have learned that hope can contribute significantly
to one's sense of wholeness and well-being. This
seminar provides the opportunity to participate
in an interdisciplinary collaborative learning
experience. Using email, members of the seminar
group explore the role of hope through reflective
dialogue around presentations by Myron Madden,
Howard Clinebell, and Kay Shurden in light
of their own experience and context. Through
this process the group benefits by learning
from one another as well as from the presentations.

Ministry
to Families Living
with Mental Illness
12.0
contact hours / Facilitator:
Rose Ann Briotte,
M.Div.
One
in five people in the United States
have or will have mental illness
sometime in their lives. While
those with mental illness frequently
find the treatment and support
they need, the impact of mental
illness on the family system is
often overlooked. This seminar
provides participants the opportunity
to explore the effects that a mental
illness has on other members of
the family, the family system,
and close friends by reflecting
on presented material in light
of their own experience and context.
Through this process the group
benefits by learning from one another
as well as from the presentations.
Ministry
with Bereaved Parents (Postponed)
12.0
contact
hours / Facilitator:
Sue Wintz, M.Div., BCC.
"Despite
the numbers of parents grieving
the traumatic death of their
child," writes
Dr. Ron Oliver,
"their grief is so misunderstood
by the non-bereaved that grieving
parents frequently suffer again
from the 'care' of their well-intended
family and friends. Caring for
a bereaved parent requires a paradigm
shift away from the way culture
defines the needs of bereaved parents
and the appropriate response to
those needs." The
participants in this seminar
will examine the needs and grief
experienced by bereaved parents and
learn approaches that might be used
in ministering to them by using email
dialogue to reflect on presented
material in light of their own experience
and context. Through this process
the group benefits by learning
from one another as well as
from the presentations.
