Outreach & Education within the Jehovah’s Witness Community

Thursday, February 05, 2026, at 2:00pm

This webinar series is intended to provide a comprehensive exploration of cultural and religious perspectives on death, dying, and burial practices, shedding light on their significance in donation and transplantation. In this session, we will delve into sub-denominational considerations of the Jehovah’s Witness community, offer practical guidance on engaging with this faith community, and discuss ethical considerations and family opposition sensitively. Through case studies and analysis of current events, we’ll equip professionals with the knowledge and tools needed for effective engagement and connection within diverse religious contexts.
