    Beyond The Fear Of Infection Series

    Contributed by Paul Kallan on Feb 15, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,365 views

    The courage of solidarity leads us to stand above the fear of infection and touch the other in his suffering and to lift him out of exclusion, loss of relationship and death. Then we become witnesses to the power of God in the world.

The story brings us clarity through the two opposing behaviours. God tries to bring healing into such a ...read more
