Union Hospital CE Workshop on Spirituality
and Health
December 13, 2007
The Role of Spirituality
and Forgiveness in Health
and Illness
Dr. Christina Puchalski
Spirituality is often primary for people
dealing with chronic illness and health. It helps people find
meaning in their suffering and helps them cope with the pains and
frustrations of chronic illness. A wide range of studies has shown
that spirituality and forgiveness play a significant role in
improving patient outcomes in such illnesses as heart disease,
cancer, recovery from surgery, depression, and substance abuse. It
is therefore important that health care providers address their
patients’ spiritual concerns and provide an opportunity for patients
to utilize their own spiritual resources. This lecture will
describe how spirituality can be beneficial to patients in dealing
with chronic illness.

Monday April

How strong is the case for reincarnation
today? Strong enough, I suggest, to convince anyone who critically
examines the evidence
without prejudice. This talk will outline the different types of
evidence, introduce some of the most important authors, and present
a case from Dr. Ian Stevenson s research (Univ. of Virginia) of a
small child with detailed knowledge of what appears to be a recently
completed previous life.
From Dr. Bache's web-site: Chris
Bache has been a professor of religious studies at Youngstown State
University for over two decades. He teaches in transpersonal
studies, comparative spirituality, consciousness research, and
Eastern religion. An award-winning teacher, his work explores the
philosophical implications of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
He is also an adjunct professor at the California Institute of
Integral Studies in San Francisco and for two years was the Director
of Transformative Learning at the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
Chris has
written one of the groundbreaking books in the growing field of
collective consciousness, Dark Night, Early Dawn: Steps to a
Deep Ecology of Mind, which was published by SUNY Press in
2000. In addition, he has written Lifecycles: Reincarnation and
the Web of Life (Paragon House, 1990).
For over

community, and authored several books, including one of the same

ISU
Students' Experience of College As Threatening or Strengthening
Their Faith: Predicting Persistence and Adjustment
Tom Johnson, Ph.D.
Professor
of Psychology
Associate
Director- Center for the Study of Health, Religion, & Spirituality
Monday February 27 at noon
HMSU Room 307
Recently considerable attention has been drawn to college students'
religious and spiritual beliefs and how students sort out issues of
meaning, purpose, and value during their college years. Students who
entered ISU in Fall 2002 completed questionnaires about their
religious beliefs and practices, alcohol use, and well-being during
Sycamore Advantage in June 2002, and again in the spring of their
freshman and sophomore years. This talk will present information
about students' perceptions that their faith was strengthened and/or
threatened by their college experiences. A small percentage of
students reported being teased or threatened because of their
religious beliefs or practices, while around half reported that
their faith developed or was strengthened. Perceptions of threats to
faith predicted a number of variables, including whether students
remained enrolled at ISU.
