Event Detail Information

This interfaith Institute targets leaders in both faith and public/community health settings who are committed to working collaboratively to eliminate health disparities. 'Leaders' includes the spectrum of people who are working on faith and health. They may be formal leaders, such as clergy, health officers, or executive directors. They may be leaders on the ground'a lay leader of a health ministry, a community health worker, a clinic nurse, a project manager. Also welcome are those who lead in the community as well as in organizations. Preferred participants will already be working on health issues and will have some experience in working in partnership. We particularly invite teams of faith and health leaders who are interested in working together on specific health issues to attend together. Participants without a team affiliation are also welcome to apply. Participants who come to the Institute on their own will be assigned to a team. Participants do not need to be people of faith, but they will need to be comfortable being part of conversations and activities that explicitly draw on religious language and practice. The Institute is interfaith and highly values the wisdom and perspective of all religious traditions.
