      … And You Visited Me
      Annual Report 2007 / 2008
      Taking care of the sick, their welfare and their healing is one of humanity’s foremost responsibilities in all societies, cultures and religions. “I was sick, and you visited me”: these words of Jesus from St. Matthew's Gospel are a call to concrete action. They remind us that restoring health is not just a matter of curing illness but also of overcoming isolation, loneliness and deprivation, of respect for human dignity and living in communion in families and communities. For EED, a sustainable financing of health care systems is fundamental.

      You Renew the Face of the Earth
      Annual Report 2006 / 2007
      What does “sustainable” mean? What is viable for the future? This Annual Report from EED, the Church Development Service, is presented under the maxim of the 104th Psalm: “You renew the face of the earth”. For hundreds of years people have known what the Psalm says: God makes the grass grow for the cattle and plants for man to cultivate – bringing forth food from the earth. God created the earth and ordered us people to build on it and preserve it. In view of the rapid change in the world, this task is being presented to the partner organisations of EED with new intensity and urgency.
