Gifts to our Library
Dr. Alastair J. Cunningham has recently donated copies of his books The Healing Journey and Bringing Spirituality into Your Healing Journey to the Metropolitan United Church Library. These books have been found to be extremely valuable, not only to people who have cancer, but to those afflicted with other diseases or conditions.
Dr. Cunningham is a senior scientist at the Ontario Cancer Institute, one of North America’s largest cancer research and treatment facilities. He is also professor of Medical Biophysics and of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, clinical co-director of the Wellspring Centre, and a member of the Institute for the Advancement of Health and the Society for behavioural Medicine. He has Ph.D. Degrees in both cell biology and psychology, and more than 40 years of experience in cancer-related research. In 2003, Dr. Cunningham was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. (He is also Barry Moore’s father-in-law.)
