Responses to Plague: The Inspiration of Hauerwas's Ecclesiology for the Churches in Hong Kong

HE Zhiyong

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused global suffering. There have been many theories to respond to the problem of suffering since ancient times, but Stanley Hauerwas believes that Christians should regard it not as a theoretical problem but a problem of church ethics. He suggests that the church should teach and train the congregation to participate in Christ's salvation work and suffering so that they may acquire the virtue and ability to respond to suffering.
