| Other | The Institute continued to engage in research in collaboration with NYU (Dr. Sam Parnia MD) on Remembered Experience of Death and assisted in preparation of an extensive report for the Annals of the NY Academy of Sciences, which in 2020 convened a full day conference with leading investigators. Editor-in-Chief Dr. Matt Lee and a team of leading social scientists published a major benchmark reference work with Oxford University Press entitled Measuring Well-Being: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from the Social Sciences and Humanities. Institute theologian and philosopher Dr. Thomas J. Oord published his new book, Open and Relational Theology, which was designated an Amazon #1 new release. Jeff Levin published his new book Religion and Medicine (Oxford University Press), with a Foreword by SGPost, and now turns his attention in an equally serious scholarly manner to love energy healing as practiced and understood worldwide. Dr. Post completed a major work on love for deeply forgetful people entitled Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People: How Caregivers Can Meet the Challenges of Alzheimer's Disease (Johns Hopkins University Press, May 2022). An estimated 20 journal articles and book chapters were published. Numerous media broadcasts were completed, including Coast to Coast and the plenary address for the European Association of Religion and Health in Lisbon via Zoom. The annual fundraising drive was successfully implemented with a growing number of donors. The Institute convenes its annual board meeting in Cleveland each year since inception in 2001, but due to the Covid-19 lock downs we convened our meeting by Zoom on August 1 2020. One new member of the board of directors was elected, Dr. Jo-Ann Triner of Columbus, Ohio, a distinguished leader in public education and an expert on the topic of love in relation to vocation and callings in work and life. |
