MNST 6121 Religion Spirituality & Health In Professional Practice
The influence of religious participation and spirituality on health has been a growing topic of medical research that has significant implications for ministry as well as for health care. The relationship between religion, spirituality, and health has been widely discussed in popular literature, has been disseminated to the public, and consequently is influencing our congregations and communities. The focus of this class will be to explore the study of religion, spirituality, and health, or "theosomatic" medicine as it has come to be known, the context in which it has occurred, the issues it presents, and practical implications for ministry and health care.
