Abstract: Abstract As the first biblical texts in the first section of this chapter show, a vital part of the early Church’s culture was a culture of service to others. This we would expect to find given the early Christians’ experience of the life and teaching of their primary authority, Jesus Christ. It is this culture of service to individuals, to communities, and to society as a whole, that has inspired Christians across the centuries to involve themselves in welfare provision and in the pursuit of social justice.
