The Diaconal Care of Non-Poor Christians: The Example of Calvin’s Geneva: An Evaluation

The Diaconal Care of Non-Poor Christians: The Example of Calvin’s Geneva: An Evaluation

  • Basic
  • Douglas J. Kuiper

Diaconal work is always associated with caring for the poor. This article argues that this should not be the case. After giving some examples of diaconal work in Calvin's Geneva in the form of hospitals and a funding organization, the author gives an evaluation of this work, with lessons for today’s deacons and the ministry of mercy.
