The imperative to respond with justice and compassion leads to a forging of alliances with a surprising variety of social actors. The attention required by the sexual dimension of life calls for new concepts, new vocabularly, and new emphases in Christian worship, teaching, and outreach.

In a context in which many feel abandoned, the significance of a Christian ministry of presence is thrown into sharp relief. Through responding to the epidemic, Christian mission discovers a formative moment at which it is significantly reshaped. |
