Religion and Various Team Members
What does the Bible say about caring for the sick? How do the roles of the various team members within the healing-hospital blueprint address caring for the sick from a biblical standpoint?

The biblical passage supporting caring of the sick is: “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” (James 5:14).
This scripture states the power of prayer and that God has the direct power to fully heal any illness that overcomes a body. It also means that God has power over someone who is sick or for someone who is praying (elders of the Church), over a sick person, and the power to keep praying until the person is healed. This bible verse also means that if a person is a follower of the Lord they will be relieved of their sickness and their sins will be forgiven.
The roles of various team members in the healing hospital addresses caring for the sick without bias on diversity and individualism. The biblical standpoint is by doing spiritual assessments and interventions for all religions , beliefs , faiths, and allowing the spiritual leader such as a chaplain to perform prayer or practices that allows components of healing.

    Prayer was another focus in the article, by praying you can be healed. If you were a client suffering from past hurts you could pray with you therapist. You could pray aloud or quietly through meditation, but that was decided by the client. There was use of scriptures in the therapy sessions as well; it was a good example to use Jane. She spoke about being angry she felt that it was a sin. The therapist found scriptures for Jane to read and she found a better understanding in being angry. So using the scriptures in the proper context was a great help in this particular therapy session.…

    The book then unfolds on demonstrating a strong understanding of the individual’s feelings and emotions. He empathizes that counselors should be aware of themselves before counseling others on any situation. Since Dr. Wright uses biblical passages as examples in ministering others, he recommends that ministers use Jesus as an example on treating a crisis or trauma victim. He teaches to ministers that once the advice is given, it cannot be taken back. The individual is going through a traumatic event and if the words aren’t chosen correctly, it could have a drastic impact on their life. Counseling those in need require one to provide the individual with unconditional love and hope. Showing…

    The role of the church is to be present. It requires the church to take an active and immediate response to crisis. According to Straub (n.d) the church must establish support and peer accountability. In order to truly assist those in need, the church must be equipped with individual from a diverse background, so they are able to relate and understand an individual how is living a similar situation to their past. Straub (n.d) gave the example of veterans. If an individual who has suffered a major trauma seeks for help they may feel like the counselor is unable to understand or related to their struggles. It is very important that the church is diverse enough that they are able to speak the language of those in need.…

    In Nazareth, Jesus defined His mission by claiming that God was fulfilling the words of Isaiah :61:1-2 through Jesus’ healing, liberating actions. There He met rejection and anger. In Capernaum, on the other hand, the townspeople wanted Him to stay there and be their local healer. Yet Jesus followed steadfastly a course that He and God chose. He did not allow either human popularity or rejection to govern His actions. Jesus healed many people and they were struck with awe and wonder. His acts bore powerful witness to God’s forgiveness and love, as well as God’s power. And he still reaches out to the sick today, in spirit, soul and body.…

    Spiritual Needs Assessment

    Nursing promotes a holistic view of care, one that incorporates the patient’s mind, body, and spirit. Many studies have found that patients consider physical and spiritual health equally important, and that patient outcomes are positively correlated with spirituality (Oakley, Katz, Sauer, Dent, & Millar, 2010). While the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JACHO) requires an initial spiritual screening for patients, it does not provide process specifics (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations [JACHO], 2005). This paper uses an assessment questionnaire to conduct a spiritual-needs assessment and provides summary analysis of the assessment’s strengths as well as addressing barriers or challenges to real-life application.…

    I believe that theology is lived and that it must be grounded in religious experience. I believe also that theology grows as I grow; it changes as I change, and it evolves as I evolve. Everyone has a sacred story to tell and that is why I am a hospital chaplain, to be there in the sacred and holy moments in which people need a companion to enter into the journey with. Completely in the flow of the moment, I am giving my full attention, listening to discover the person’s sorrow, suffering, joy, strength, unique experiences, and connectedness to the divine. I am privileged to be a companion to our patients and families as they draw upon their beliefs, values and support systems to deal with sickness, homelessness, sorrow, poverty, dying, chronic illness, and all of life’s changes.…
