Health & Well-Being – Mar 18, 2010

admin — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:49:47 +0000

Many people suffer from ongoing or undiagnosed musculoskeletal aches and pains. The source of their discomfort can often be a result of a problem found elsewhere in the body. When assessing such disorders, should the painful area be viewed as an entity unto itself or should the body be approached as a whole? This seminar will address these issues from an assessment and treatment perspective and will integrate a Biblically centred, spiritual component to achieve holistic well-being.

Dr. Gordon van der Pol is a registered physiotherapist and has completed a doctorate in osteopathic manual practice. He has over 18 years of experience in the fields of rehabilitation medicine, orthopaedics, sports medicine and osteopathic manual practice. He currently owns and operates the Ontario Osteopathic and Rehabilitation Centre in Burlington.

Mental illness afflicts one in four Canadians. Depression and anxiety represent the most common forms of emotional distress. The toll that these difficulties take on families and individuals—and indeed on society as a whole—is inestimable. In this seminar, we will consider what both current scientific research and the Bible teaches us about the causes, the cures and the prevention of these devastating disorders.

Dr. Swallow’s presentation is now available.

Family & Marriage

Marriage breakdown has reached epidemic proportions. All around us we hear voices of those who wish either to undermine the importance of marriage or attack the traditional definition of marriage. And yet in our hearts we are thankful for the gift of marriage and very much want to make it work. This seminar offers counsel towards a successful marriage. A future seminar will address the challenge of parenting.

Carl Muller, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church since 1990, will be speaking on marriage and family issues. He has been happily married since 1985 and has four children.
