- Notes
- "[By] Usha Jesudasan [and] Gert Ruppell".
- In this book "we offer a collection of stories told by participants from Asian, African and Latin American consultations organised by the staff responsible for Mission and Evangelism in the World Council of Churches in preparation for the Conference on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME). The importance of these consultations was that they gave space for participants to share their spiritual journey as well as their personal and communal stories of healing, reconciliation and life-changing empowerment with each other. `Healing as Empowerment' aims at making these stories, from a wide variety of cultural and social contexts, available to a broader audience of readers for their own process in and reflection on God's healing and reconciling grace". -- Intro.
- "The call to healing is also a call for change in the relationship of Christians and their churches to others round them, and to the world itself. Positive responses to this calling offer potential for life-transforming empowerment in the lives of individuals and in the life of the world." -- back cover.
