Duke University Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health Workshop

POSTED May 26, 2021

NOW is the time to register for our onsite 5-day onsite summer research workshop to be held in-person on August 9-13, 2021. Immediate registration is necessary to ensure a spot and individual mentorship if desired, due to limited space necessary for social distancing. For an article on how to obtain research training on religion, spirituality and health, specifically with regard to this workshop, go to: https://rdcu.be/ceFH4.

As usual, our faculty this year come from Duke, Yale, and Emory, and includes physicians, nurses, and chaplains with extensive research and clinical experience in quantitative and qualitative research. The workshop compresses material presented in our past 12-mo post-doctoral fellowship into 5 days, and is the only place in the world where specific training on how to conduct research on religion, spirituality & health can be obtained from researchers active in the field for over 35 years. We recommend this courses for researchers early in their career and for seasoned researchers wishing to shift their work into spirituality & health, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students working on their dissertations or others considering research in this area. Those more generally interested in spirituality and health will also find the workshop useful, as we cover a lot of material applicable to laypersons and clergy. This is the 17th year the workshop is being offered, with more than 900 attendees over the years.

Catholic Relief Services Chapters Forming

POSTED November 3, 2020

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is building a network of CRS Chapters to mobilize Catholics and others of goodwill to end global poverty. These chapters—which are being formed nationwide and are comprised of students, parishioners and others—advance our mission to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas through meaningful action, enabling chapter members to live out their call as missionary disciples.
The goal of CRS Chapters is to equip and empower volunteers to become champions for the families and communities that CRS serves, and to lead the way to a more just and peaceful world. We do that by encouraging our elected officials and the media to highlight and support this lifesaving work, and by mobilizing essential resources that make our work possible. For more information contact Ken Preston at kenneth.preston@crs.org.
