| description | The conferences on Christian Health Care which were held in Tübingen (Germany) in 1964 and 1967 set a foundation for understanding the role of Christian health care services in the healing ministry of the church. However, it has to be asked whether the findings of these conferences are still relevant for the 21st century. In this paper we analyze the changes of the global health care provision since the declarations of Tübingen. Based on this analysis we argue that Christian health care services are still called to contribute to the struggle for health and healing worldwide, in particular for the vulnerables. However, this requires a thorough portfolio analysis of our services rendered and a focus on spirituality in particular of the leadership. |
