Pastor Continuing Education

In May of 2026 Pr. Karen joined with the WCC Commission on Health and Healing meeting in Geneva to attend events of the 79th World Health Assembly in Geneva Switzerland. This time was spent strengthening partnerships with global health actors, civil society networks, and faith-based organizations. Events were related to civil society collaboration in health promotion, a webinar on digital health equity, a side event on economic policy and public health, and sessions addressing antimicrobial resistance and palliative care through an interfaith advocacy network. The image above shows the participants in the gathering with Raman Bedi of the World Federation of Public Health Authorities (WFPHA).
