The Park Ridge Center is pleased to announce the establishment of a new E-mail list entitled HEALTH-FAITH-ETHICS. This electronic discussion group focuses on issues arising at the intersection of health and health care (including public health), religion or spirituality, and ethics.

The list is part of the Center's ongoing work to foster public awareness and discussion of the role of religion in health care and to help form a community to advance this discussion. We hope the list will transcend the borders of most contemporary bioethics, as it is not limited to any one tradition or discipline and is open to anyone with a professional interest in this area.

Although we anticipate discussion to focus on issues close to the bedside, we welcome discussion of any topic of significant concern, including issues relating to education, research, public policy, and law arising within the broad coverage of religion and health care. Any member of the list can initiate a discussion by sending an E-mail message to the list, which will then be forwarded to all the other members for their reactions and response.

E-mail listserv@listserv.prchfe.org to subscribe. Leave the subject line blank and insert as the message the following: subscribe health-faith-ethics (your name) [without parentheses]. If you prefer, access our web page at www.prchfe.org and refer to the "Health, Faith, and Ethics Listserv" column for instructions.
