        Every Christian health professional has a unique opportunity to improve their patients’ physical and spiritual health, but many feel frustrated by the challenge of integrating faith and practice within time constraints and legal obligations.

        However, the medical literature increasingly recognises the important link between spirituality and health and GMC guidelines approve discussion of faith issues with patients provided that it is done appropriately and sensitively.

        Christians are called to be ‘the salt of the earth’. Saline Solution is a course designed to help Christian healthcare professionals bring Christ and his good news into their work. It has helped hundreds become more comfortable and adept at practising medicine that addresses the needs of the whole person.

        Wholeness in Christ

        ‘As you received Christ Jesus the Lord,  so, walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith’  (Colossians 2:6-7)

        Westerners today enjoy longer lives and greater comfort than preceding generations but increasing numbers struggle with their mental and emotional wellbeing. Christian doctors are not immune to these struggles, especially working in a system that often feels like it is stretched to breaking point. Surrounded by philosophies of self-help and mindfulness, manifestation and resilience, we can lose confidence in Christ. We need to recover an approach to life and work that is grounded on Christ. That’s what the apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, presents to us in Colossians. By digging into this letter, we’ll see that Christ is supreme in everything and sufficient for our emotions and thoughts and we’ll learn how a Christ-centred vision can inspire and sustain us in our work and relationships. This is an opportunity to return to our roots in Christ and to be built up in him so we can serve others with thankfulness and hope.

         

        Speaker: Paul Coulter lives in Northern Ireland with his wife Gar-Ling (a geriatrician) and their two teenaged children. He started his working life in medicine before moving into cross-cultural pastoral ministry then taking theological studies to PhD level and teaching practical theology. Currently, he is Head of Ministry Operations with Living Leadership and serves voluntarily as Executive Director of the Centre for Christianity in Society. He has written four books, including Serving Two Masters: Probing the Tensions Between Faith and Science in the Art of Healthcare (CMF, 2022) and Keeping Care Pastoral: The Heart of Gospel-Shaped Pastoral Care (PESIOD, 2022). In his spare time, he likes walking fields and hills with his dog, reading about history, and writing poetry
