Practice & Presence is a national gathering for Christians seeking renewal, belonging, and faithful ways of practicing and ministering in health care in a time of deep strain. Rooted in the practices of the Church, the conference bears public witness to the beauty, truth, and fullness of the gospel as it shapes clinical, pastoral, and communal care.

This year’s gathering will consider what it means that we are creatures—made, loved, and held by a God who entered the world in human form. Drawing on Scripture and the rich theological tradition of creaturely life, we will explore focal points that speak directly to the experience of those laboring in health care today.

Join us as we learn, worship, and break bread together, in hopes that our time may lead us back to ourselves, to one another, and to the God in whom our hearts find their rest.
