Brian will discuss the findings and resources arising from his major project for 2025: "Moral injury, the North East of England and tailored pastoral care: A qualitative, contextual study". Tuesday 17 March at 7pm GMT | 8pm CET | 12noon PDT | 3pm EDT

This new volume forges connections between the fields of medical and health humanities on the one hand and religious studies and theological studies on the other, firmly establishing a needed bridge and a valuable resource on how mental and physical health relates to the human drive for meaning. It includes a chapter by Brian Powers on moral injury and the importance of Christian theologies of guilt, forgiveness and hope in preventing negative outcomes. Join us for the launch on 13 March 2026.
