Pastoral and Spiritual Care United

Healing Pathway

Many Calgary area United Churches have a healing ministry, which usually falls under the umbrella of Pastoral Care. The compassionate folks who participate offer relaxing, gentle, non-invasive energy healing to people —and pets — of all ages, in all stages of life. Most participants follow one of two programs, Healing Pathway and Healing Touch.

Healing Touch is a nursing practice with a clinical focus, derived from the ancient art of hands-on healing.

Healing Pathway is based out of Naramata Centre, a United Church retreat centre in the Okanagan. This program grew out of Healing Touch in response to those who wanted to know how it related to their Christian faith and life experience – although the gifts of hands-on healing are freely given to all in need.

Healing Pathway is steeped in the Christian tradition of prayer, laying on of hands and anointing with oil. Those who follow the Pathway are answering the call from Jesus Christ to be disciples.

Information about Healing Pathway workshops is available under courses.

Here is a list of Calgary’s United Churches that offer Healing Pathway along with links to information about their programs (churches in bold) where available. Contact information for other churches is available on the Calgary Presbytery Website
