The fifteen papers presented here examine three centuries of close, if sometimes ambiguous, links between Christian mission and medicine. The authors, who include theologians, historians, sociologists, physicians and representatives of major international health-care organisations, address themselves to such questions as: How is one to assess the results of past missionary health-care effort? How are modern-day Christian organisations to cope with the burden of institutions set up in the past? What links should the Churches maintain with official medical organisations? What position should the Churches take on the 'faith v. healing' debate begun by certain religious groups? And how is one to lay the groundwork of a theology of health and healing?The complexity of the issues outlined here can - alas - provide no easy answers.Quinze auteurs, compris théologiens, historiens, sociologues, médecins et responsables d'organisations sanitaires, ont centré leurs réflections sur le rôle des Églises chrétiennes dans le domaine de la santé, hier dans les pays de mission, aujourd'hui dans ces mêmes régions où se mûrit une véritable inculturation du christianisme.Dans cet ouvrage ils abordent plusieurs questions fondamentales: comment évaluer les résultats et lacunes de l'action sanitaire des missions dans le passé? Les communautées chrétiennes actuelles doivent-elles porter le poids d'institutions mises en place hier? Quels rapports les Églises doivent-elles entretenir avec les organisations médicales officielles? Comment les Églises se situent-elles dans la dialectique 'foi-guérison' développée par certains groupes religieux? Plus profondément, comment poser les jalons d'une théologie de la santé et de la guérison?Trouver les reponses sur ces questions complexes c'est une tache très délicate.

Churches, and in a larger sense religion, should serve as the conscience of society. Hence Christian bodies have an obligation to condemn gross evils and to speak out on the great moral issues, but they should not give their full support to any political party or cause. The World Council of Churches (WCC) from its beginning in 1948 showed an interest in the developing countries. The WCC has been increasingly influenced by the picture of downtrodden people struggling for freedom, dignity, and economic development. By 1975, the WCC had embraced the concept and practice of liberation theology, which on some issues, has been very similar to Marxism. Ambiguity toward Marxism stems from a profound confusion between ends and means. The Marxists' claim of a clear-cut diagnosis and simple answers has an appeal to Westerners who feel guilty about their power and wealth. Seven recommendations are offered in conclusion that would make the WCC truer to the Christian faith and make a more responsible contribution to justice and freedom in the political order. Appendices that contain texts of relevant WCC documents, notes, and an index of persons and countries are included. (BZ)

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are increasingly recognised as playing a significant role in the health sector in developing countries. This book examines the background to the growth both in the sector and interest in it, the strengths and weaknesses of NGOs and the arguments for and against their use for different aspects of the health sector. It focuses particularly on the relationship between the State and non-governmental organizations and the issues critical to the development of policies towards the sector.

Most patients we see in both developed and developing countries, are suffering from diseases that are preventable. Of all their healthcare needs, the greatest by far is for reliable health information. Although evidence-based life-saving information is available from the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other sources, it seldom reaches our patients, or even their healthcare providers. The Health Education Program for Developing Countries was created to provide the most important health care information to the people who need it most. The program: -empowers physicians, teachers, churches and patients to save lives and relieve suffering through health promotion and prevention of their most common and serious health conditions. -addresses the most important health problems in developed, as well, as developing countries. -emphasizes the WHO top 10 leading risk factors globally that cause the most deaths and suffering. -includes the current world-wide epidemic of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases. -describes WHO evidence-based guidelines for the prevention and care of these as well as other common diseases through reducing risk and promoting healthy life. -includes mental health and other recommendations for recovering from disasters, physical or sexual assault, or other serious accidental or war-inflicted injury. -enables a holistic approach to care of the whole person: body, mind and spirit. -promotes evidence-based recommendations for care from the WHO and its collaborating partners, such as the CDC. -was developed for use by non-medical as well as medical people, and can be easily individualized to meet the most important needs of your community. -includes the written Handbook and 56 full-color 8.5 x 11 inch teaching Illustrations. -enables the integration of Personal/Primary Care and Public/Community Health, at all three WHO Health Pyramid levels of care: 1.Hospital, 2.Clinic/Health Center, and 3.Family/Community. This remains the key to community transformation and the success of healthcare systems in both developed and developing countries. -PDF versions are available in English, French, Khmer, Mandarin and Spanish, with more languages coming. -Additional information and free downloading are available at www.hepfdc.info

The needs of the poor in developing countries for more productive and satisfying ways to earn their living, and for better nutrition, education and health care are tremendous. God in his grace moves his people to contribute money, skills and other resources to meet these needs, often through the work of Christian development organizations. But the resources forthcoming from a fallen world are limited, and the call to exercise good stewardship over them is pressing. This book equips Christians for "thoughtful stewardship": the application of God-given analytical abilities in making the most of the limited resources available. In particular, it calls Christian development professionals to collaborate in thinking flexibly about the range of programs and policies that might be used to help the poor, and in gathering the evidence required for making wise program and policy design choices. For those in all stages of relief and development efforts, this book provides an expert and accessible introduction to the choices and challenges that development organizations face today, it challenges received wisdom and pushes readers to consider ways of improving the status quo, and highlights areas in which research and participation might be especially useful to Christian development efforts.
