Loma Linda University Health's Center for Spiritual Life and Wholeness is sponsoring its 6th annual Faith, Health and Wholeness Conference titled "To Share or Not To Share." It takes place January 17 and 18.
This conference will look at the ethics of witness from concept to practice. It includes a variety of perspectives, from those who consider the potential negative consequences of sharing to those who identify witness as an essential aspect of care.
Several scholars will present papers from various viewpoints followed by responses. Participants will have opportunities to dialogue with scholars and colleagues as they explore the topics.
The conference is free for all Loma Linda University Health employees and students and will be held Friday, January 17, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, January 18 from 12:30 to 6:00 p.m. in the Centennial Complex, Fourth Floor. Lunch included on Saturday. Community guests are welcome to attend (cost $40).
