The Church's response to the Covid-19 pandemic is explored in this volume, which examines how the Church has historically cared for the sick and promoted society's physical and spiritual well-being. Anointing and praying for the sick have been practiced alongside medical treatment from the beginning. Religious organizations like leper hospitals provided care for the ill while also isolating them to protect public health. The institutionalization of the Church's care for the sick led to the establishment of hospitals and medical schools. The articles in this volume explore various aspects of the Church's response to sickness, including pandemics. They also examine the relationship between the Church and the medical profession, the clerical experience of sickness, and how sickness has been used as a metaphor for understanding the Church's place in the world.
