Description
'How can we experience the Gospel?', 'What are the temptations of the health worker?', and 'What is the relevance of spiritual direction for decision makers?' are three questions James Houston addresses in this talk. Offering a theological basis for spiritual counsel rooted in the beliefs that prayer is the foundation of the Christian life and that ethics and character are inseparable, Houston presents three flaws behind the popular concept of amoral counseling, lists temptations of the health worker, and explains how cultivating our spiritual lives through educative, parental, or fraternal spiritual direction is relevant in medicinal decision making. Finally Houston responds to listeners' questions.
