Paths of Peace in Crisis Series: Trauma and Theology

Join us for a discussion about trauma and theology with Dr. Shelly Rambo and Reverend Michelle Walsh, of the Boston University School of Theology.

The Paths of Peace in Crisis series explores contemporary complements to Mary Baker Eddy’s pioneering insights as a nineteenth century woman challenging the conventions of science, theology, and medicine. Presenters will include women who continue to break down barriers as spiritual caregivers and professional peacemakers; individuals push the boundaries of societal expectations pertaining to inner healing and peace; and scholars who deconstruct longstanding religious and spiritual perspectives, and reinterpret their peace giving and healing efficacy.

Dr. Shelly Rambo is an authority on trauma studies, especially in regard to the military. In 2010, she published a book entitled Spirit and Trauma: A Theology of Remaining where she examined varied approaches to trauma from a Christian perspective.
