How is your Church responding to the loneliness epidemic?

Danielle Finch shares sobering statistics with a challenge to recognise that God calls all of us to look out for and care for our fellow human beings

Mother Teresa introduced the extent of the loneliness epidemic far better than I ever could:

“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love” (Mother Teresa in A Simple Path).
