My Name is Butch

My name is Butch Odom, and I would like to welcome you to my blog, Panoramic Views of Faith & Health. Today, I serve the Church Health Center as the Director of Faith Community Ministries, one of the four ministries of the Center. With the Center’s mission to reclaim the church’s biblical commitment to care for our bodies and spirits, Faith Community Ministries works with individual congregations helping them fulfill this mission. We do this through training opportunities for both clergy and laity. We are especially known in Memphis for our Congregational Health Promoter training program offered three times each year. We are also active in the development of curricula and other materials to help congregations explore the connection between faith and health and find where God is leading them.
