Lecture: Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine

How are spirituality and religion present in hospitals? How do healthcare professionals including chaplains think and work around the topics with patients and families?

Wendy Cadge, Ph.D., a sociologist at Brandeis University and expert in contemporary American religious demographics, will headline the third annual James Sawers Jr. Speaker Series presented by the Charleston Interreligious Council. This session explores how spirituality and religion are present in hospitals and how healthcare professionals, including chaplains, navigate the topics with patients and families.

This lecture is a series of four free lectures and workshops that are open to the public and will be held Nov. 7-9, 2019 at various locations around Charleston. Those of all faiths and religious backgrounds are welcome to attend to be part of the conversation.

For questions about the speaker series, contact Ken Fox at 843-763-3150 or SCKenFox@comcast.net. Please visit www.cicouncil.org/events for event locations.
