Thank you to everyone who sent comments and suggestions as we prepare to begin the revision of the 2019 Foundations of Faith Community Nursing. It is exciting and humbling to realize that the new 2024 Curriculum is the 5th edition of this cornerstone to our specialty practice! Our editors for the revision are Dr. Susan Jacob and Dr. Sharon Hinton.  The expert FCNs who will review the entire curriculum have been selected and negotiations for module authors have begun. Watch for updates in future newsletters.
