Join a Park Street Church Welcome Team
We need your help welcoming! This opportunity is for everyone, but if you’re new to the church, this a great first step for jumping into our community. Joining a Welcome Team or Coffee Hour Team is a wonderful way to connect with others while serving. You’ll join a consistent small group to welcome others into the church at one or two services a month.

A Conversation on Religious Practice and Palliative Care

This year HMS Veritas Forum is hosting a moderated panel with Jewish, Christian, and Muslim physicians sharing how religion affects views on the afterlife. With a specific emphasis on palliative care, we hope to dive deeper into how different religions view life after death, how faith affects daily interactions with patients, and difficult decisions that faith-identifying doctors have faced in caring for patients at the end of their lives.
Panelists: Lara Michael Skarf, MD (Chief of Palliative Care, VA Boston Healthcare System), Abdulrahman Aldeeri, MD (Internist & Clinical Fellow in Medical Genetics & Genomics, HMS), Farr Curlin, MD (Palliative Medicine Physician, Professor of Medical Humanities, Duke University)
