The presence or absence of blessing makes a difference in how those ministering to others approach life and work. And that sense of being blessed or not by parents and mentors is also a factor for those to whom we minister. What this perception of blessing means to us and how it affects our lives is the subject of the upcoming seminar on the Power to Bless.
As we provide care for persons who are aged, impaired, or institutionalized and members of their families, how do we address the ethical issues around personal autonomy? Informed consent? Human dignity? Futile treatment? Intervention? In April, the Oates Institute is offering an ethics seminar on Human Values and Health Care that focuses on these issues.
