May 10, 2024Webinar #43 Dr Vinod Shah - Sacred Secular dichotomies and healthcare mission
Recorded on 4 February 2021 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Vinod Shah

A set of three sacred/secular dichotomies are being presented that have caused schism in our understanding of life and mission including medical mission. These are:
The Heaven and Earth dichotomy
(the primary dichotomy)

Body and Soul dichotomy

Sacred and Secular work dichotomy
These in turn have caused many other dichotomies such as evangelism/social action dichotomy, love/sex dichotomy, and ministry/family/work dissociation.
Integration of these dichotomies can make us more motivated and authentic and help Christians gain more control over the seven cultural mountains.
After coming to Christian faith from a Jain background, Dr Vinod Shah's passion is serving God through Medical Mission. He did his M.B.B.S, M.S & M.Ch from Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. He served as Executive Director of the Emmanuel Hospital Association in New Delhi; was the Head of Distance Education at CMC Vellore; and from 2014-2019 was the CEO of ICMDA. He is married to Dr Shalini Shah and they are blessed with three children; two of them are working in North America,
and one in China.

May 09, 2024 Webinar #197 Prof Raman Bedi: Infant Oral Mutilation - an East African dilemma
Recorded on 9 May 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Alex Bolek chairs a webinar with Prof Raman Bedi
Infant oral mutilation (IOM) is a traditional practice that is prevalent in many African countries but practised most often in East Africa.
IOM involves extracting an infant's unerupted primary teeth or ‘tooth buds' without anaesthesia. This practice does not have any health benefits.
It is typically motivated by the belief that existing tooth buds, which may resemble worms under the mucosa, may be a cause of childhood diseases, such as diarrhoea and vomiting. Thus, tooth buds are removed to prevent and treat those diseases. In the talk Raman Bedi will describe the procedure and the End IOM campaign.

Raman Bedi was Chief Dental Officer – England from October 2002 to October 2005. He was the founder and director of the Senior Dental Leadership programme from 2007-2021.
In September 2005, he chaired the UK European Union Presidency dental programme. Raman was head of dental public health at the Eastman Dental Institute, University College of London, and Director of the National Centre for Transcultural Oral Health from 1996–2002. From 1998-2008 he was the director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre at the Eastman Dental Institute.
Currently, he is an Emeritus Professor at King’s College London. He holds several international honorary chairs, including an “Extraordinary Professorship” in Paediatric Dentistry at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa and the University of Pennsylvania.

May 02, 2024 Webinar #196 Laura Bryant Hanford - The WHO guideline to universalize gender transition
Recorded on 2 May 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Laura Bryant Hanford
In December 2023, the WHO announced a committee to develop an official “guideline” on gender transition. Most members are transgender activists, and only half are medical professionals.
Churches and clinicians need to be aware of the highly organized, well-funded Western activism working through the WHO to impose unethical, unbiblical and unscientific sexual norms, and to open new markets for hormones and surgery as “essential” healthcare.
The webinar will discuss the factors driving this dangerous ideological movement, and the strategies employed by its proponents in the international context. Resources will be offered to respond effectively and to protect vulnerable children and adults.
Laura Bryant Hanford grew up as a missionary kid in France and lives with her family in the Washington, DC area, where she consults and writes on a range of US and international family, child protection and religious freedom issues.
Since 2015, when she began serving on her children’s public school sex education committee, her focus has included the dangers posed by gender ideology. Her background is in international human rights, at the US Embassy in Romania as officer in charge of human rights and on Capitol Hill as a Congressional staffer. She was the lead staff researcher and drafter of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. She is a graduate of Princeton University.

The Elephant and the Ant: Mutual Understanding and Blessing? explores the experiences of being a Jewish disciple of Jesus in a church that has been majority world-based for the last 1800 years. What are the biblical theological and cultural differences in understanding Yeshua (Jesus), the church, Israel, and their relationship, and how do these impact historical tensions of antisemitism and current Jewish-Christian relations? How do we express the challenges of identity and unity, particularly in the context of reconciliation, justice, and peace during the current Israel-Gaza war?
Richard Harvey is a Jewish disciple of Yeshua (Jesus) who writes, researches and teaches Messianic Jewish Theology. He pioneered the London Messianic Congregation and holds a PhD from the University of Wales.

April 19, 2024 Webinar #194 Larry Worthen - Conscientious Objection and Duty of Care
Recorded on 11 April 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Larry Worthen
The swift advance of euthanasia and assisted suicide (MAiD) in Canada and its corresponding effect on conscience rights should be a cautionary tale for the rest of the world. Nova Scotia doctors are currently fighting to practice medicine against regulators who are trying to normalize the practice of euthanasia by requiring an "effective referral" of patients to the service. As the number of disturbing cases expands, more and more doctors are unable to comply with regulators who are threatening discipline for non compliance.
Larry is Executive Director of the Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada. He resides in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with his wife, Dr. Linda Gagnon who is a family physician. They have two children and five grandsons.
