Introduction
More and more Professors and students of Medical Schools, but also Professors and students of Theological Schools in many universities all over the world, especially in the USA are concerned about “Health & Religion” topics.
To their surprise, physicians are discovering in contemporary scientific publications in leading medical journals (such as JAMA, NEJM, etc.) that patients have been requesting that their spiritual needs in addition to their physical needs are attended to. The collaboration between Health Sciences and Theology during the Covid 19 Pandemic has shown that it can become more meaningful in all health matters when doctors, priests and theologians (of all religions) come together in efforts such as the online courses “Health & Religion” which will continue in the academic year 2022-2023.
By simply going through the course program, the quality of the speakers and the highly interesting topics to be presented is revealed.
Technology nowadays allows everyone to participate weekly every Thursday 3pm-4pm by simply typing www.healthandreligion.gr on their mobile phone or computer. Through the same website, they can also access and watch all previous lectures, at any time they wish.
I would like to thank the leading Greek and American Professors as well as all the speakers for their generous and unselfish contribution to our further training on issues related to “Health & Religion”.
