Providence Cancer Center Amphitheater located on the Providence Portland Medical Center campus.  (Rev) John F. Tuohey, Ph.D., Presenter
The concept of being a prophet is at least as old as the 9th century B.C., dating back to the first prophet, Elijah. Found in the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Mishnah, Christian Bible and the Quran, Elijah is said to have raised the dead, brought fire down from the sky in judgment and ascended into heaven on a whirlwind. Today the term is used mostly to describe those who advocate dramatically for the rights of the poor, marginalized and vulnerable of society. We think of prophets as leaders taking center stage. Could it be that social workers, security staff, physicians, housekeepers, nurses, residents, chaplains and the rest of us in health care can be prophets? Is it possible that each of us can be prophetic leaders without being in charge or taking center stage on some issue? In this Core Curriculum program, Fr. Tuohey will use art, as well as biblical and historical accounts, to explore what it means to be prophetic leaders in health care. He will ask us to think differently about what we think of the prophets, of leadership and of ourselves as we play our different roles in patient care." (Rev.) John F.
