Faith communities are vital centers for addressing the well-being of people in their communities. All religious traditions stress attention to health, care for the sick or marginalized, and positive living.
Every neighborhood has a church, temple, or mosque that provides spiritual care.
Often religious institutions are also engaged in outreach efforts that address the needs of the community at large. Issues of health are basic to all people. We all struggle with illness, stress, injury and loss. We all want to be well and functioning to the best of our abilities. There are many ways to do health ministries.
