Healthcare practitioners often encounter patients in moments of pain and suffering. These experiences call for various kinds of responses, ranging from biotechnological or pharmaceutical intervention to social advocacy, personal accompaniment, or spiritual care.

The panel, “Afflicted: Theological & Medical Perspectives on Pain & Suffering”, will be held in Canyon Commons 101 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19.

Participants will be Erika Barber (George Fox University), Brett McCarty (Duke University) and Patrick T. Smith (Duke University). The event will be moderated by Daniel Kang (George Fox University).
