Speakers

Rabbi Amy Eilberg

Rabbi Amy Eilberg directs dialogue programs at the Jay Phillips Center. The first woman ordained as a Conservative rabbi, she was a co-founder of the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center, where she directed that center’s Jewish Hospice Care Program.

Dr. Janet Ramsey

Dr. Janet Ramsey joined the Luther Seminary faculty as the associate professor of congregational care leadership in spring 2002. Her title, a new one at Luther Seminary, signals a philosophical and theological change in modern-day pastoral care. Today, the pastor is no longer seen as the sole caregiver in a congregation, but as the one who models care and leads congregations to be caring communities.
