With all this talk about healthcare coverage in America, it’s good to see those who follow Jesus thinking outside of the cultural box and being open to ways that make the Christian Faith practical in relation to health. I actually first learned of Christian Healthcare Ministries while reading Shane Claiborne’s Jesus for President. I sent away for the information and was seriously considering joining this Christian Healthcare Co-operative. It speaks to me as a contextualized attempt to resurrect the scriptural witness of the first century Christian Church as described in Acts Chapters 2 and 4.
Though our life situation as a young family doesn’t make it possible for us to join at this time, I look forward to revisiting this possibility at a later stage in our lives. That won’t stop me from sharing the information with others who might take advantage now and being open to how I can support these types of efforts even I don’t become involved directly.
Take a look at this short segment that CNN did on Christian Healthcare Co-operatives in America. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts. Would you sign up to be a part of something like this?
