- Martha S. Swartz, a noted scholar on this subject and attorney practicing in the field of health care law in Philadelphia; and

Student Evening of Reflection
Abandoning The Myths We Live With
General Description of Student Evening of Reflection:
"As we grow and develop, things happen that cause us to lose sight of who we really are. Our experiences, our psychic and emotional hurts of various kinds, different messages that we get along the way, create baggage in us. We develop certain myths – myths that serve to block us from seeing ourselves for who we are – seeing ourselves as God sees us. They therefore block our ability to receive God’s love fully. This evening of reflection will invite us to spend some time in reflection, prayer and discussion designed to identify and understand some of the myths we live with and to start to process of laying some of them aside, replacing them with a richer understanding of who we truly are in relation to our God."
Dates: Thursday, September 18, 2008
Times: 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Location: MSL 334
A light dinner will be served so attendees are asked to R.S.V.P. by Sept. 10 to lawrsvp@stthomas.edu
