For Clergy
Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about the spiritual relevance of healthy living. As a pastor or other faith leader, you know all too well the many challenges that people of faith face because, oftentimes, they look to you for guidance and support. Whether your parishioners are facing an economic crisis due to the loss of a job, an emotional crisis due to the death of a loved one, or a physical crisis due to a chronic disease or other illness, each need is important and can have a tremendous impact on the entire church.
Our scriptures teach that every person of faith matters – that we are individual members of a much larger body, the body of Christ. And that "if one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it" (I Corinthians 12:26, NRSV). So, in this spirit, may we each care for ourselves as we love and care for others, realizing that we were bought with a price (I Corinthians 6:20) and that God has a divine purpose and plan for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11).
To the right, you will find information and tools to help you promote health and wholeness in your congregation. It is our sincere prayer that these materials will not only improve your health and the health of those you love and serve, but that they will increase our effectiveness, as one body, to change the world!
