Background Information for the speakers for the 13-14 April Regional OSL Conference

Rev. John Rice

Following twenty four years of parish ministry in Episcopal churches, Rev. John Rice left parish ministry in 2012 in response to God’s call to focus more of his time and energy on restoring and growing Jesus’ healing ministry. He describes his teaching ministry as a way “to encourage, equip, and empower God’s people for Jesus’ healing ministry” .

Since 2009, John has led four OSL ministry teams to bring Jesus’ healing ministry to the Diocese of Durgapur, located in northeastern India. During the last 20 years, he has taught and preached on healing prayer ministry in churches throughout the United States. John recently completed a DVD teaching series of five healing prayer workshops. This new educational resource, “Equipping the Saints for Jesus’ Healing Ministry” was created for use in churches, small groups, and OSL Chapters.

John and his wife, Debra, live in Burnsville, North Carolina. Helping create a healing ministry in a local prison and at a nearby mountainside retreat center (High Pastures) are new opportunities for ministry in his hometown area. Otherwise, family life, lots of gardening and a little fishing keep John well occupied when home.

Title and Summary of Workshop

“The Holy Eucharist: Food and Fuel for the Healing Ministry”

With the liturgical renewal movements of the 1960s and 1970s, the Eucharist or Holy Communion has once again taken the central place in the worship life of many mainline protestant churches. However, the relationship between the Eucharist and the Healing Ministry is often neglected or unexamined. This workshop will explore some of the theological connections between these sacramental ministries, allowing participants to consider, in a new way, how the Holy Eucharist is indeed food and fuel for the Healing Ministry.
