This workshop explored how religious communities can help veterans heal from moral injury and support their families during transition into civilian life. The workshop leaders are co-directors of the Brite Divinity School’s program on Soul Repair established by a recent grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. They discussed newly emerging research on moral injury and examine effective strategies for supporting lifelong recovery, including the importance of ritual and worship practices.
Presented by Rita Brock and Herman Keizer at the 2013 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
