- There is a kind of listening with half an ear that presumes already to know what the other person has to say.... Dietrich
Bonhoeffer. The story is a container which holds the truth of the unconscious. Bringing it to consciousness makes it possible
to work more effectively on its pain for the purpose of resolution. In faith, we will explore the meaning found in stories,
images, themes, and metaphors. This faith provides openness, a possibility of conversion, and a space where miracles can
happen.

- Informed by Bernard Lonergans transcendent theology of pathway, the Quality Toolkit embraces the principles of
attentiveness, intelligence, reasonableness, and responsibility in spiritual care service delivery. How do spiritual care
departments identify the ethos of their institutions? How do they assess and evaluate current practices and seek out unmet
needs? How do spiritual care departments relate to their institutions and apply new knowledge in the way of continuous
quality improvement of the care they provide? The Quality Toolkit is a pathway for healing and wholeness for individuals
and communities. It is modeled on noticing, inquiring, judging and deciding and applied with a quality driven strengths and
needs based approach. Join us as we apply this model not only at the bedside but at the system level as well.

- As people face the last days, months or weeks of life, sometimes it is difficult to see that even though life draws to an end, it does
not mean that life has to stop. Gunderson and Pray developed the concept of leading causes of life - connection, coherence,
agency, blessing, and hope. As patients in their last period of life embrace these concepts, they seem to have a more meaningful
end of life journey. Through stories and examples these concepts will be explored. The desire is to have an understanding that
chaplains can, through using this assessment, help patients embrace that last day of life by Living Before Dying.

- Caring for patients from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and belief systems can be challenging for health care professionals.
Practices and beliefs that center on illness, suffering, death and bereavement are varied and can greatly influence decisions
regarding the health and treatment of an individual or loved one. To address a patient's individual needs effectively, health care
teams must strive for a familiarity with the ways in which individuals from different cultures and belief systems manifest certain
conditions and respond to treatments. As we strive to understand our patients, we also are called to acknowledge the varied beliefs
and customs our co-workers bring to the work place which influences how we work with our patients and how we work together
in a cultural diverse environment.
