INTEGRATING SPIRITUALITY, ETHICS, AND HEALING

 

 

Welcome to the Online Campus of
The Wayne E. Oates Institute

    Since 1993 the Wayne E. Oates Institute has addressed an important and unique need for professional and lay caregivers to learn from each other and give care to the whole person; body, mind, and spirit.  We have done this through education, publication, and research.

    In 1998, we expanded our facilities and developed our resources on the World Wide Web and extended our program offerings to include online learning and publishing. The Oates Institute’s Online Campus has grown steadily since then, allowing professionals in multiple disciplines throughout the world to learn from each other in ways that fit their schedule.

  • The Online Learning Center
    is the facility where 30 to 40 online seminars are held each year and information about upcoming learning opportunities is available. The OLC  houses the:
    •   Pauline Oates Pastoral Care Specialist Certificate
    •   Health Ministries Certificate
    •   Lifelong Learning @ Oates.Org eNewsletter
    •   Self-Study Learning Modules
    •   Forums on Healing, conference presentations, and other educational resources
  • The Online Learning Center is utilized by other organizations as a conference facility as we help them host various online learning activities.

  • The Center for Oates Studies
    is the most recent addition to our campus and like all of our facilities, it is constantly being expanded. The COS features the:

It provides a place for those doing research in Psychology of Religion utilizing the Wayne Oates’ body of work, to publish and advance that legacy to address the needs of the 21st century.
