<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <title>ABSTRACT:</title> <p>The rapidly changing healthcare environment and burgeoning healthcare costs offer a unique opportunity for the church to reclaim her biblical and historic foundations for ministries of health, healing, and wholeness. This article proposes a framework for those foundations significant to church culture, considered in light of the challenges and opportunities created by the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Practical applications for health ministry based on the framework are provided.</p> </sec> </abstract>
