On Friday, October 10th, Dr. Jay Lynch gave a public lecture at Christian Study Center’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. Dr. Lynch is one of the founders of the Christian Study Center of Gainesville.
In the first lecture at the 25th Anniversary Celebration, Dr. Lynch gave a talk about the Study Center’s providential role in his life’s calling as a medical professional, namely its impact on helping him to define and preserve the soul of his vocation. Dr. Lynch posits that medicine is not solely a science, but also an art, and it’s the art of medicine that allows care-providers to step beyond the medicine of modernity to see patients as humans with a soul and a story.
