[TCCM] Vatican Science Conference May 2021

[Fr. Michael Medas]

Friends,

Please join the Pontifical Council’s for Culture and the Cura Foundation’s Fifth International Vatican Conference on: Exploring the Mind, Body & Soul. How Innovation and Novel Delivery Systems Improve Human Health. The new virtual format three-day conference, be held on May 6-8, 2021, will be presented in dynamic, short- segment programs.

The conference will gather prominent physicians, scientists, leaders of faith, ethicists, patient advocates, policymakers, philanthropists and influencers to engage in conversations on the latest breakthroughs in medicine, health care delivery and prevention.
Conference organizers will also spotlight a conversation on “Bridging Science and Faith” to explore the commonalities between religion and spirituality and health and wellbeing, as well as examine the relationship between the mind, body and soul. The discussion will delve into the anthropological and cultural dimensions of being human and look for areas of convergence between the humanities and the natural sciences. Discussions around the importance of empathy and compassion, ethical implications of advances in technology, including artificial intelligence, and the impact of innovation on anthropology one of the many areas where dialogue must occur. This important conversation is made possible through the generous support of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.

Blessings and peace,

 He who created you, O Jacob,
 He who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.”
Isaiah 43:1
