Reaching toward a Holistic Future

In today's culture, interest in the spiritual continues to grow. And as it does, the interaction between health care and spirituality increases and changes. How should the two interact? How might they enrich one another? Jack Shea suggests each side needs to speak to the other, not only its own viewpoint, but also with the particularities of the other in mind. To advance such a dialog, he describes six spiritual interests that have arisen within health care. Then he explores the spiritual reality that undergirds those interests and how spiritualities - beliefs, stories, and practices - develop those interests. The author concludes with eight spiritual imperatives, which invite further exploration of the relationship between spirituality and health care. |
