ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on Health and Health Care

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this wonderful book, Kathie Bender Schwich provides a thoughtful, comprehensive discussion of how we as Lutherans are called to care for the health of our local and global communities. She discusses the importance of building health and caring for the sick, drawing from multiple sources: the Bible, Christianity, interfaith communications, and ELCA social statements and social messages. Ms. Bender Schwich guides the reader in discussing what we as individuals, congregations, congregations, and a society can and must do as we try to care for ourselves and our brothers and sisters in this sometimes-broken world.”
