Partakers of the Divine Nature: What is Theosis?

"Just wanted to let you know how much all of us appreciated your remarkable comments on Faith and Medicine last week. Your observations about how it is impossible to heal the body without also healing the soul and the spirit were not only powerful, but also eloquently stated. Many have commented about how beautifully you capture what so many of us feel, but find very difficult to put into words. Thank you for helping us illustrate the strong interplay between faith and healing."

How are health of the soul and health of the body intertwined? This class invites us to look at wellness and healing from the approach of the Holy Unction Service and encourages us to understand more fully James’s admonition, "if any of you be sick, let him be anointed with oil."
