An article by Choolwe Mwetwa -- published in the latest edition of "Reformation Zambia" -- reproduced here (and in the soon to appear edition of the Sola 5 Chronicles) with permission.
First paragraph of the introduction:

It is an institution that hosts lots of people with different types of spiritual conditions needing attention. Its medical staff would be the spiritually gifted members of the church led by the consultants, the elders. For spiritual healthcare, I cannot think of an institution better suited than the church.
