INTRODUCTION
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25 states “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security ...”[1] The United Nation’s Millennium Project 2006 obligates world leaders to “improve peoples quality of life by targeting poverty, health, education and the environment”.[2] These two declarations are evident in the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authorities (CERA) statement “The social well being of communities and individuals depends on a range of factors, including access to quality housing, transport, education and health systems and inclusive communities, which support people to participate fully in the life of the region”.[3]

"Great crowds came to him bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them." Matthew 15:30
The gospel is full of narratives of Jesus' actions of healing - physically, mentally and spiritually. Jesus instructs his disciples to 'go and preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick' (Luke 9:2). The Christian church, as the incarnation of Christ, is to follow his example.
