The military and medical care are critical sites for interfaith and spiritual care, within hospitals and in the field. Join us for a two panel discussions and/or dinner conversation to learn more about the challenges, questions and insights that come with Faith and Spirituality in the Military and Medical Care and the ways military and hospital chaplains serve people from all backgrounds and build bridges across differences in challenging contexts.
