Who is involved in the
Clergy and Religious Specialty Group?
We are Catholic Priests, Deacons, Sisters and Brothers,
Protestant Clergy and Ordained Deacons -- servant
professionals that love the Lord Jesus and believe in
His healing power. We joined ACT to learn better how to
serve Him in His healing ministries. We also hope that
our presence and expertise at ACT meetings will always
be a supportive resource for all members of the ACT
community, be they Doctors, Nurses, Therapists or other
allied healthcare personnel.
Who is invited to attend the Clergy and Religious
Specialty Group sessions at the ACT International
Conference?
Our Specialty Group provides support for members in a
variety of roles – a pastor of a congregation, a
director of a particular ministry in a church or
community, etc.
So often we can find ourselves busily taking care of
others’ needs while longing for peers to minister
healing experiences to us as well. We understand
confidentiality among us as professionals and find that
ACT is a place that is comforting and respectful of us
and our needs.
What can this Specialty Group offer me?
We appreciate our gatherings at ACT Regional and
International meetings as well as the opportunities
presented through Conference calls, Committee meetings
and other ways to share the richness of healing we find
through our individual and group ministries. At the
International conference, our Group gathers to learn
from one another and pray with each other. For many of
us, the friendships formed at ACT across denominational
lines with fellow believers in the healing power of
Christ Jesus have been lasting and empowering and have
followed us throughout life.
What are the responsibilities and opportunities of this
Specialty Group?
One of the opportunities you will have is to make ACT
members and the Internet community aware of your special
gifts as a counselor, retreat leader, or teacher that
may be needed near you or internationally.
Through contact with us you may make other ACT members
and the Internet community aware of healing
opportunities available to people you serve, or even
discover healing opportunities you need for yourself.
As for as responsibilities are concerned we hope that
all who join us are deeply committed to enhancing the
glory of God and furthering the healing mission of our
Lord Jesus Christ in whatever way they are called.
We hope that you will feel free enough to share the ways
God has taught you to be a healing presence in today’s
world.
