Note(s) : "For the first time in the history of the Ecclesiastical History Society, this volume did not arise from a summer conference: along with so many other events, the 2020 Summer Conference, due to explore 'The Church and Rites of Passage', had to be postponed. Under the extended presidency of Professor Alec Ryrie, the committee of the Ecclesiastical History Society issued a call for papers for a volume exploring the Church's approach to sickness and to health. This volume comprises twenty peer-reviewed articles selected from those submitted, some of which were presented at the 2021 Winter Meeting, held online."--Preface, page ix. - Textes issus de conférences tenues en ligne en hiver 2021. - Notes bibliogr.
The volume reflects the way that, from the earliest times, the Church has cared for the sick and for the health of society in both physical and spiritual senses. Anointing and praying for the sick has always been combined with medical care for the afflicted. The intercession of the Virgin Mary, St Roch and St Sebastian, for example, was sought to protect the faithful from plague, while further saints offered hope against other diseases. Religious foundations such as leper and plague hospitals cared for the diseased but also isolated them to protect the health of society. The institutionalization of the Church's care for the sick led to the foundation of hospitals and medical schools. Leading London hospitals, such as Bart's and St Thomas's, developed from medieval monastic foundations; today the Roman Catholic Church is globally the largest non-governmental provider of healthcare. Many of the articles in this volume focus on the Church's response to sickness and several explore specifically the experience of pandemics down the ages. Others explore the connection between the Church and the medical profession, and by implication the relationships between spiritual and physical approaches to sickness, and its impact on ministry, preaching and understanding the Church and its relationship to the world.
