Doctor, Will You Pray For Me?
October 17 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Please join us for a fascinating presentation of Dr. Robert Klitzman’s new book, Doctor Will You Pray For Me? Medicine, Chaplains, and Healing the Whole Person.
The modern world faces religious, spiritual and existential quandaries, as new technologies redefine the beginnings and ends of life. Excruciating choices arise about when to turn off the machines – whether and when we should “play God.” The COVID-19 pandemic made these dilemmas ever more acute. Increasingly, however, public discourse on religion and spirituality is polarized, with evangelicals on one side and vehement atheists on the other.
Drawing on in-depth interviews and the author’s personal experiences, Doctor, Will You Pray for Me? provides vital information that can assist in medical care decisions. Dr. Klitzman argues that a better understanding of the relationship between these realms will enable more holistic and humane treatment of patients.
