Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Karen Rispin
Many faith-based health providers intend to follow in the footsteps of Jesus when they reach out to heal. If you look carefully, most of those Jesus healed were people living with chronic disabilities. Yet this population is often neglected by many faith-based health providers.
The World Health Organization sees disability as one of the fastest growing health problems. People are living longer; diabetes is rampant, and children born with disabilities are more likely to live. Families dealing with disability often feel that this is due to a curse or shameful behaviour. This sparks spiritual anxiety and leads to questions.
Karen Rispin is Project Manager, Assistive Technology Catalyst Project with IDEAS and BethanyKids. She is passionate about reaching out with true hope by catalyzing links to resources to facilitate wheelchair services and care for those with disabilities at faith based hospitals. A missionary kid who grew up in Kenya, she has led research teams, published on appropriate assistive technology for low resource areas and serves on international committees. Karen’s desire is that those with disabilities receive appropriate provision of AT along with medical, social and spiritual care.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Vinod Shah
A set of three sacred/secular dichotomies are being presented that have caused schism in our understanding of life and mission including medical mission. These are:
The Heaven and Earth dichotomy
(the primary dichotomy) Body and Soul dichotomy Sacred and Secular work dichotomyThese in turn have caused many other dichotomies such as evangelism/social action dichotomy, love/sex dichotomy, and ministry/family/work dissociation.
Integration of these dichotomies can make us more motivated and authentic and help Christians gain more control over the seven cultural mountains.
After coming to Christian faith from a Jain background, Dr Vinod Shah's passion is serving God through Medical Mission. He did his M.B.B.S, M.S & M.Ch from Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.

Recorded on 9 May 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Alex Bolek chairs a webinar with Prof Raman BediInfant oral mutilation (IOM) is a traditional practice that is prevalent in many African countries but practised most often in East Africa.
IOM involves extracting an infant's unerupted primary teeth or ‘tooth buds' without anaesthesia. This practice does not have any health benefits.
It is typically motivated by the belief that existing tooth buds, which may resemble worms under the mucosa, may be a cause of childhood diseases, such as diarrhoea and vomiting. Thus, tooth buds are removed to prevent and treat those diseases. In the talk Raman Bedi will describe the procedure and the End IOM campaign.
Raman Bedi was Chief Dental Officer – England from October 2002 to October 2005. He was the founder and director of the Senior Dental Leadership programme from 2007-2021.
In September 2005, he chaired the UK European Union Presidency dental programme. Raman was head of dental public health at the Eastman Dental Institute, University College of London, and Director of the National Centre for Transcultural Oral Health from 1996–2002. From 1998-2008 he was the director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre at the Eastman Dental Institute.
Currently, he is an Emeritus Professor at King’s College London. He holds several international honorary chairs, including an “Extraordinary Professorship” in Paediatric Dentistry at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa and the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Laura Bryant Hanford
In December 2023, the WHO announced a committee to develop an official “guideline” on gender transition. Most members are transgender activists, and only half are medical professionals.
Churches and clinicians need to be aware of the highly organized, well-funded Western activism working through the WHO to impose unethical, unbiblical and unscientific sexual norms, and to open new markets for hormones and surgery as “essential” healthcare.
The webinar will discuss the factors driving this dangerous ideological movement, and the strategies employed by its proponents in the international context. Resources will be offered to respond effectively and to protect vulnerable children and adults.
Laura Bryant Hanford grew up as a missionary kid in France and lives with her family in the Washington, DC area, where she consults and writes on a range of US and international family, child protection and religious freedom issues.
Since 2015, when she began serving on her children’s public school sex education committee, her focus has included the dangers posed by gender ideology. Her background is in international human rights, at the US Embassy in Romania as officer in charge of human rights and on Capitol Hill as a Congressional staffer. She was the lead staff researcher and drafter of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. She is a graduate of Princeton University.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars, visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Larry Worthen
The swift advance of euthanasia and assisted suicide (MAiD) in Canada and its corresponding effect on conscience rights should be a cautionary tale for the rest of the world. Nova Scotia doctors are currently fighting to practice medicine against regulators who are trying to normalize the practice of euthanasia by requiring an "effective referral" of patients to the service. As the number of disturbing cases expands, more and more doctors are unable to comply with regulators who are threatening discipline for non compliance.
Larry is Executive Director of the Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada. He resides in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with his wife, Dr. Linda Gagnon who is a family physician. They have two children and five grandsons.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars, visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/

Dr Felicia Wong chairs a webinar with Dr Patti Francis
Women have become a large sector of medical and dental schools since the mid 80s. Before that time, it was tough for women to be accepted in these fields. God created us male and female and we each bring different gifts to the field of medicine.
This webinar will explore those gifts and needs of women within CMDA US. The organization saw the need to address these needs. This webinar will share that journey of how CMDA US has supported our roles as women in Christ serving together.
Patti Francis was born to German immigrant parents who emigrated after World War II. She became a Board Certified Pediatrician in 1979 and recently retired from private practice in pediatrics. She has been part of CMDA US since becoming a medical student and has served in several leadership positions, including volunteering as a delegate from California. She was asked by David Topazian, DDS, then President of CMDA, to explore the needs of women physicians and dentists in CMDA in 1990. It was given the status of Commission several years later. She served as the original chair and has been involved ever since.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars, visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/

The infertility industry around the globe has grown to a multi-billion dollar business changing the modern family and profiting off of a women’s body. Through film, this presentation will explore third-party reproduction with a specific focus on the main commodity: human eggs. It’s no secret that young women all over the world are solicited by ads—via college campus bulletin boards, social media, and online classifieds—offering thousands of dollars for their “donated” eggs, to “help make someone’s dream come true.” Who is this egg “donor” and what is her reality?Kallie started her professional career as a scientist in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center utilizing a Master of Science degree in Animal Sciences with an emphasis on Reproductive Physiology and Molecular Biology from Purdue University. While assisting in the investigation of endometriosis and pre-term birth, Kallie simultaneously pursued a degree in nursing with hopes of working with women as a perinatal nurse. After meeting Jennifer at a conference, Kallie became interested in the work of the Center for Bioethics and Culture and started volunteering with the organization. It is obvious that Kallie is passionate about women’s health.
She continues to work as a perinatal nurse and has worked with the CBC since 2018, first as a volunteer writer, then as our staff Research Associate, and now as the Executive Director. In 2021, Kallie co-directed the CBC’s newest documentary, Trans Mission: What’s the Rush to Reassign Gender? Kallie also hosts the popular podcast Venus Rising and is the Program Director for the Paul Ramsey Institute.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Pablo Martínez Vila.
Prayer is the highlight of our spiritual life, but we are more than just "spirits", we are a unity of body, mind and spirit. Our personality and temperament have a great influence on our spiritual life and our prayer life in particular. This is why it is important to get to know how the weak and strong points of our personality affect the way we pray. Extroverts, for example, preferring action, will struggle to have a regular prayer discipline; introverts will find it more difficult to pray in public. Prayer should not be one more burden in life, but a pleasure to enjoy.Dr Pablo Martínez is a psychiatrist and he currently works at a private practice in Barcelona. He develops a wide ministry as lecturer and teacher in many European countries on topics like “Mind and faith”, “The therapeutic value of the Gospel in emotional problems” or “Taking care of yourself”. His books dealing with such issues have been translated into 16 languages. He served the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA) as one of its vice presidents.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Prof John Wyatt.
We live in a sex-saturated culture and it seems obvious that romance and sex provide the most powerful, vital and fulfilling aspects of human living. By comparison non-sexual friendship can seem either weak and unimportant, or potentially abusive.
Yet the Bible celebrates committed covenantal friendship. How can we re-imagine Gospel-shaped friendship in the sexually obsessed and suspicious world in which we live?
What are the red flags that indicate when friendship is going wrong and how can we create healthy Christian communities in which friendships can flourish?John Wyatt is Emeritus Professor of Neonatal Paediatrics, University College London, a Senior Researcher at the Faraday Institute, Cambridge and President of the UK Christian Medical Fellowship.
He has a clinical background as a paediatrician caring for sick and premature infants and also a medical scientist researching into the prevention of brain injury in newborn babies.
He has always been interested in ethical dilemmas raised by advances in medical technology and has frequently engaged in public and professional consultations and debates from the perspective of the Christian faith.
His book Matters of Life and Death – human dilemmas in the light of the Christian faith has been translated into more than ten languages. His most recent book is Transforming Friendship. He and his wife Celia are longstanding members of All Souls Church in London.

Informing Advocacy: Filling Gaps in Data About the Christian Health Landscape
Christian health assets are sometimes overlooked or excluded from programs that strengthen health systems, train health workers, conduct research, and fund services. This is in part because governments, donors, and partners lack quality data about the scope, scale and location of such assets.
The Christian Health Asset Mapping Consortium (CHAMC) is a voluntary association of several of the world’s largest Christian networks that aims to improve data on Christian health assets, including hospitals, clinics, community programs, health worker training programs, supply agencies, and the networks and volunteer agencies that support them.
Doug Fountain serves as CCIH Executive Director. Doug brings over 30 years of experience in health services planning, research, and evaluation and over 20 years in the faith-based and international development sectors. He consults on development strategy and policy with bilateral and multilateral partners and global faith actors.

He helped start the Christian Health Asset Mapping Consortium, the Christian Journal for Global Health, and the Faculty of Health Sciences at Uganda Christian University. Doug holds an MPA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a B.S. in Political Science and Economics from the University of Oregon.Carolyn O’Brien is the Program Advisor for CCIH, helping design and monitor programs. Carolyn manages the Christian Health Asset Mapping Consortium, CCIH’s 30×30 Health Systems Initiative, and CCIH’s new consortium on climate resilience. She coordinates USAID-funded projects in reproductive health, vaccine confidence, and drug supply chains.
