Trauma Healing Institute Convening Session

410 East Street,Buffalo NY 14207

30 June, 2022

Description

Purpose Trauma knows no boundaries of nationality, gender, age, social class or race. We all live in a fallen world and groan inwardly from the painful consequences of the fall. The church is uniquely called to this mission field—it provides a theology for suffering, a community bound together in love, access to a God who is willing to hear our honest laments, and a Savior who knows what unjust suffering feels like and whose death on the cross heals the broken-hearted and forgives their sins. About the Session At this introductory session, we’ll explore these questions: • What are the needs for trauma care in this area? • Is there a role the church could play to help people know, as Christians, how better to respond to trauma and find healing and release? • Would American Bible Society’s Bible-based materials and model be helpful? • What would trauma healing look like in our setting?
