Ich bin gekommen, damit sie das Leben haben und volle Genüge. (Johannes 10;10)

Bei der Betrachtung der Themen Gesundheit und Wohlergehen bekräftigen wir als Menschen und Kirchen christlichen Glaubens, dass der Lebensspender und -bewahrer unser Herr Jesus Christus ist, das heilende Element für unsere Körper und Seelen, der uns von unseren Gebrechen heilt, unser Leben vom Verderben erlöst und uns mit Gnade und Barmherzigkeit krönt (Psalm 103;3-4).

Moi, je suis venu pour que les hommes aient la vie et qu’ils l’aient en abondance. (Jean 10:10)

Lorsque nous abordons la question de la santé et du bien-être, nous affirmons, en tant que chrétiens et en tant qu’Églises, que Celui qui donne et qui soutient la vie est notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, le guérisseur de nos corps et de nos âmes, celui qui guérit tous nos maux, réclame notre vie à la fosse et nous couronne de fidélité et de tendresse (Ps. 103:3-4).

Yo he venido para que tengan vida, y para que la tengan en abundancia. (Juan 10:10)

Al abordar la cuestión de la salud y el bienestar, los cristianos y las iglesias afirmamos que el dador y sustentador de la vida es nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el que sana nuestros cuerpos y almas, el que sana todas nuestras dolencias, el que rescata del hoyo nuestras vidas y nos corona de favores y misericordia. (Sal. 103:3-4).

The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love (Psalm 33:5)

New technologies are transforming our world and the multiple spaces in which we live, work and witness. These technologies offer us new ways to create, to heal, to communicate, and to navigate the world. However, many such technologies, while undoubtedly offering actual or potential advances in human wellbeing, have also raised concerns regarding their social and environmental impacts and ethical implications, especially in light of the rapidity of their development and application.
