Webinar #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.
