The  Faith and Illness Initiative exists to “discover a theology of vocation and virtue for Christians living with chronic illness.” 

Through an annual small group gathering of scholars, medical professionals, pastors, and students, FII explores a topic on the theme of chronic illness and Christian faith.

In this public panel event, you’re invited to join in the conversation on the themes of Year Two: Chronic Pain and Christian Discipleship.
