Free Online Health Ministries Conference Planned
CHICAGO, IL (November 24, 2001) - North Park Theological Seminary and the Department of Christian Formation of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) are co-sponsoring a free online conference on health ministries January 21 through February 1.
The conference, "The Transforming Power of the Church to Promote Healthy Communities," will be led by Mary Chase-Ziolek, PhD, RN, director of health ministry programs and assistant professor of health ministries at the seminary. Participants will explore how Covenant churches can impact - and already are impacting - the health of their communities through discussing the implications of the current faith and health movement for the church.
During week one of the two-week online conference (January 21-27), participants will find the content of the presentation on North Park's website. Asynchronous dialogue will occur throughout the conference via an online discussion board responding to questions raised by conference content or the experience and interests of participants.
During week two (January 28-February 1), opportunities for simultaneous online discussion will be scheduled. There will also be descriptions of Covenant health ministries that are impacting the health of communities.
To register for the online conference, visit www.northpark.edu. Due to limited space, participants must register by January 7, 2002.
For more information on the conference, contact Chase-Ziolek by email at mchase-ziolek@northpark.edu or by telephone at 773-244-6201.
