A Theology of Caring
I received this encouraging email today from a member of a Maryland church: I was searching the net and came across your article, “A Theology of Caring,” and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated it. I appreciated it so much I have passed it on to numerous people in my church. The timing is interesting as we are just starting a Caring Committee. It is also interesting because I have read about 20 books in the past few years on Mercy ministry and somehow you have distilled them all down into one article. To read the article click here.
