The faiths chosen for this analysis are Islam, Sanatana Dharma (Hindu), the Native Americans, and Christianity. Each faith has their own needs from the health care provider during the course of healing, but share similarities in requiring the same areas of one’s self that need to be addressed. Spiritual Healing requires spiritual awareness by the individual in conjunction with the belief system in place that aids towards complete health. Islam’s spiritual perspective involves prayer and worship to Allah, following the teachings in the Qur’an scriptures, and guidance by the Imam. Sanatana Dharma and the Native American beliefs involve finding a balance in life and karma.

I know that as a nurse, I will see patients with many different worldviews and I will be open to them and work with them to help them spiritually. Religion and spirituality can be huge in treating patents by using meditation and prayer in healing (Krietzer et al, 2012). This can cause patients to forgive and have hope, which can change their attitude on the disease and ultimately the outcome of the disease. References Krietzer, M., Dossey, L., & Groopman, J. (2012).
The essential or main responsibility of evangelical theology is defining the divine transcendence immanence within the faith shared as a believing society within a specified literary context.

As the diversity of the United States continues to grow, health care facilities are becoming more culturally challenged. A big component to healing is assessing cultural and spiritual needs of patients and their families, and providing a holistic approach to healing. By building awareness in meeting the needs of diverse populations, the health care facilities of America will soon understand the components that are needed to provide healing. The purpose of this paper is to examine the spiritual perspectives of healing and compare Christianity to the religious beliefs of Native Americans, Sikhs, and Baha’i’s, identify critical components needed to offer a culture of healing, and reflect on the unique roles health care providers offer as they set aside their own beliefs to meet the needs of
A Comparison of Two Faith Philosophies; Christianity and Buddhism Grand Canyon University HLT-310V Spirituality in Health Care February 21th, 2015 Abstract The importance of understanding the differences in faith philosophies is as essential as understanding the differences in age related illness. As the world continues to become one with people merging into communities of the various cultures and religious beliefs and teachings, it is now becoming an essential part of the nurse’s role to have this knowledge.

Assignment on Theology, church and worship Case study, ‘Assemble’ a gathering together of participating persons, constitutes the most basic symbol of Christian worship’ (Gordon Lathrop Holy people p. 21). How does the practice of Christian Worship express ecclesial identity? Introduction: Gordon Lathrop applies liturgical theology on his book Holy Things, giving much importance to all components of worship and how it is linked to the notion of ‘church’. As community and assembly are principally emphasized, Saint Augustine (354-430) does pronounce a sacrament to be a noticeable apparent outline of a deep concealed grace; also, the Eucharist appears to be the most fundamental sacrament given that Catholics regard it as a means of mercy and blessing to those who experience and accept the holy body and blood of Jesus through the bread and wine, also referred to as thanksgiving. In the story of Emmaus, two men identified Jesus as he broke the bread (symbolic action that represents his breaking body on the cross) before sharing it with the other disciples.
