| Summary: | As the church and its members and its functionaries continues with its mission work, it must do that with the self-understanding of what the church is and its nature as a missional church, which has pastoral responsibilities, among its many dimensions.

As the church lives out its God-given mandate, the church does that in specific contexts, and in the case of this article, it is the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and poverty and associated suffering, using Zandspruit informal settlement as a case study. |
