Greetings
I have made a few changes to the listserve rules.
First, although only members can post at this point, I have removed
the moderation features, which means people can post messages
without approval. If we begin to get irritating stuff, or spam, I
will change it back, but am hoping this will improve access and
generate more activity.

Second, I have change the reply from "reply to sender" to "reply
all". In this way conversations won't die a quick death once they
have begun.

A few commnets. JFP recently had an issue (August) with a number of
articles on Spirituality and Medicine. Please check.

Also, I am distributing a narrative questionnaire to get a better
feel for how people view spirituality and health. If any of you
would like to answer the following questions, I would appreciate
getting your persective. Feel free to send your answers directly to
my OHSU email if you desire a bit of privacy.....

Name:
1. Age:
2. Place of birth or youth
3. Religion of youth
4. Current religion
5. Please describe your personal spirituality (This may be connected
to, or practiced within the context of your religion, or may be
independent)
6. Personal spiritual practices (prayer, bible reading, Torah,
meditation, other reading, group experiences, etc.)
7. How do you think (or theologize) about illness? In other words,
what is the meaning or value of illness (just something that
happens, God causes, etc.)
8. How to you think (theologize) about healing or cure?
9. How do you view the role of God/Divine/Sacred in terms of
healing or cure?
10. What is the role of your spirituality in terms of healing or
cure?
11. Does your spiritual perspective include any healing rituals or
practices?
12. Have you ever had a healing experience? Please describe.

Thanks to all of you.
I hope we can get people sharing "ideas that
work" "questions" "issues" or whatever. WE are in this together
