The statistician W. Edwards Deming famously said, "In God we trust, all others must bring data." For our two guests, reliable data about the impact of spiritual counseling in healthcare settings is a kind of holy grail. How do you measure the value of a compassionate and calm presence in the midst of illness and loss?

Until he retired in 2013, Chaplain Ralph Benson roamed the crowded hallways of Dulles International Airport, counseling up to 12 people a day. His sacred meeting places? The closest Chipotle or Five Guys. He talked to our show's founder Maureen Fiedler in 2010 about serving a unique flock.

| Commentary: Amber on Ramadan traditions |
June 01, 2018 |
|
| Ramadan is the holy month on the Islamic lunar calendar during which Muslims are encouraged to reflect and renew their faith committments by observing 30 days of fasting from food, water and certain activities during day light hours. It is also a time that is known for family meals, community gatherings and increasing charitible acts. Our host Amber Khan reflects on how the first 15 days of Ramadan took on a special meaning this year when her mom became seriously ill, and how she is trying to carry forward those treasured family traditions with her kids. |
