"Pain and suffering often generate a profound sense of loneliness. We think we are
cut off from everyone, we feel that no one
can possibly understand"
(D.A. Carson, How Long O Lord?)
Come and join us as we look into how the Bible
helps us to understand suffering, and how to
care for those who are crying out for comfort in
the midst of physical, emotional and spiritual
pain and confusion.
Main bible teaching sessions will be looking at
the book of Job, given by Hugh Thomson.
In addition, there will be seminars providing an
opportunity to explore other issues relevant to
working as Christian allied health professionals.
This is a great opportunity to meet others within
your profession, as well as strengthening
relationships between the professions. (This
year's conference is being held in conjunction
with the conferences of the Therapy Students
Christian Fellowship and Christian Student
Nurses and Midwives.)
