Health, Healing, and Hope: Spring 2021

In this issue, there are some references to the current COVID-19 pandemic, but most articles address a wide range of issues that are pertinent to Christians in every age and circumstance. Authors share openly about their personal struggles with illness, their experiences as caregivers, and their encounters as persons involved in pastoral or chaplaincy care. Some address the topic of health as it relates to social, economic, and political concerns. And there are authors who raise questions about how persons with disabilities are treated within the church and society—suggesting that many of us without disabilities need to radically rethink what it means to have persons with disabilities among us, gifting the church and society with their presence and contributing to our collective well being.
