HEALING POWER of Stories: Online Seminar

Healing Power of Stories, online course
WAYNE OATES INSTITUTE
Part Two: February 7-25, 2005
Facilitator: Rev. Canon Marlin Whitmer12.0 contact hours

This is a two part online seminar led by the Rev. Canon Marlin Whitmer that will take the stories you hear as a basis for reflecting on metaphors and metaphorical patterns. Also through the metaphors and metaphorical patterns, connections will be identified between the Biblical stories and one's own stories. This learning experience will relate these fundamentals of language and Word to pastoral care and health care. Both are grounded on listening, language, and metaphor as health care moves out into the community with chronic illness overshadowing acute care.This seminar provides the opportunity to participate in an interdisciplinary collaborative learning experience. Using email, members of the seminar group explore the issues of common language 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.
