SUMMARY:Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop – Professor Pietsch in Westminster\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Christian Caregiving for People Suffering with Depression and Anxiety\nToday mental health struggles affect so many people\, draining their energy and joy for life and undermining their confidence. People rightly look for medical and psychological treatment to help them in such struggles. Yet\, as researchers are recognizing more and more\, a large component of these struggles is spiritual\, and people need spiritual care and healing too. In this workshop\, Dr. Stephen Pietsch will draw on the long Christian tradition of care and comfort to those in mental distress\, looking into Scripture\, as well as insights from Luther and his pastoral care of those with mental struggles. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Stephen Pietsch\nAssociate Professor of Practical Theology\nDr. Stephen Pietsch has served congregations in both rural and suburban settings in Australia. He completed his graduate and doctoral studies in an interdisciplinary topic\, looking at how Martin Luther counseled and cared for people with mental illnesses\, specifically depression. His research was published in 2016\, entitled “Of Good Comfort” Pietsch joined the faculty of Concordia Seminary St. Louis in 2023. He has an ambition to visit all 50 states while we are living and working in the US. He also loves reading and listening to books\, vegetable gardening\, cooking and classical music. \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nDAY\nTIME\n\n\nMonday\, Aug. 4\n9:30 a.m.–noon\n\n\n\n12:45-4 p.m.\n\n\nTuesday\, Aug. 5\n9:30 a.m.–noon\n\n\n\n12:45-4 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\, Aug. 6\n9:30 a.m.–noon\n\n\n\n\n	Registration cost: $150\n	Registration deadline: July 21\, 2025\n	Location contact: Peter Gregory\n	 \n	Register\n	More Workshops\n\n\nNote: The schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the workshop presenters. \n\n
