Previous Fall Conferences

Central Seminary held our Fall Conference on “Caring for the Soul: Understanding Moral Injury” on Tuesday, October 15 with over 150 in attendance in person and via livestream. Our speaker was Chaplain (Colonel) Christopher Melvin, D.Min., Army National Guard.
The 2024 Fall Conference explored the complex issues of moral injury and its impact on individuals and communities. Chaplain Melvin led sessions on definitions, theological frameworks, and practical interventions for addressing moral injury in the warrior’s soul.
The sessions and conference notebook are posted below. We hope they can be an encouragement in your ministry.
