Key Note #1Wayne Muller
Plenary #2Loving Self
Wayne Muller is an executive leadership mentor, therapist, minister, community advocate, consultant, public speaker, and bestselling author of several books. A graduate of Harvard Divinity School, he has spent the last thirty-five years working with people suffering abuse, alcoholism, poverty, illness and loss.
"When we are lost or afraid, we can tend to isolate, to bear down and get through it, to make it on our own. Jesus says, ‘When two or more are gathered, there I am in your midst.’ When we enter into companionship with another, something larger than ourselvesis born. Choose a few people whose companionship you will seek when times are difficult. One of the most precious gifts we can offer is to be a place of refuge, to be Sabbath for one another."
- Wayne Muller

PARISH NURSING is a health ministry of faith communities which emphasizes the wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Rooted in the vision of Christ as Healer, this ministry grows out of the belief that all faith communities are places of health and healing and have a role in promoting wholeness through the integration of faith and health.
PARISH NURSE: a parish nurse is a registered nurse with specialized knowledge, who is called to ministry and affirmed by a faith community to promote health, healing and wholeness.
THE ROLE OF A PARISH NURSE: the role of a parish nurse is to promote the integration of faith and health in a variety of ways that reflect the context of the faith community.
Specific examples include:
- Health advocacy
- Health counselling
- Health education
- Resource referral
(taken from for the Conference
In this conference we will explore ways to embrace fullness of life in parish nursing ministry by:
Experiencing worship that enriches our lives and our ministries (Loving God)
Learning and reflecting on the challenges of settlement and transition of refugees (Loving Neighbour)
Being nurtured through Sabbath rest and self-care (Loving Self)
