I just discovered an article called, "Christianity has been handling epidemics for 2000 years" by Lyman Stone at foriegnpolicy.com.
Did you know that:
There was a plague, possibly related to Ebola, that hit the ancient world in the third century.
That this plague was named after a preacher that encouaged his congregation to care for those afflicted with this plague "heedless of danger". His name was Cyprian.
That non-believers took notice of this compassion, and that this compassion led to a widespread growth of the Christian message
Anyway...thought that was interesting...
