Please join the Doubter community for our next Happy Hour, May 26 at 6 pm, as we welcome Dr. Joretta Marshall discussing Caring for God’s People in the Age of Corona.
In the age of Corona, it is becoming evident that we must rethink the ways that we take care of each other and ourselves. Unprecedented times call for reimagined ways of actively managing our own mental, physical, and spiritual health and how we engage each other and the world around us. Social-distancing, isolation, and lack of shared space are all so antithetical to the message of Jesus Christ.
Who better to help us think this through than Dr. Marshall! Joretta is Professor of Pastoral Theology and Care at Brite Divinity School, where she also served as Academic Dean. Additionally, she has served on faculty at Vanderbilt University Divinity School, Iliff School of Theology, and Eden Seminary. Joretta has served as one of the Co-Editors for the Journal of Pastoral Theology, a publication supported by the Society for Pastoral Theology, and is currently on the editorial board for Journal of Pastoral Care and Counseling. She is the author of “Counseling Lesbian Partners and Why Should I Forgive?”, is the co-editor of Forgiveness and Abuse: Jewish and Christian Reflections.”(with Marie Fortune), and The Formation of Pastoral Counselors: Challenges and Opportunities (with Duane Bidwell), along with a number of articles in professional and church-related journals. She is a past President of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. She is ordained as an Elder in the United Methodist Church.
It promises to be a fascinating and enlightening evening.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
