This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
- Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-The '''theology of relational care''' (also called '''relational care theology''') refers to a [[theology]] of understanding how contemporary followers of [[Jesus]] can relate to others, especially those who are [[poor]], [[marginalized]], or considered to be outcasts from [[mainstream]] society.<ref>Frame, John Christopher.

-==Theology==
-The theology of relational care emphasizes [[Christians]] engaging, validating, and loving marginalized persons through genuine, intentional interactions.  Such interactions include establishing [[Interpersonal relationship|relationships]], participating in meaningful [[conversations]], and building trust.  It emphasizes that Christians actively build relationships with others so as to bridge the chasm between persons in the mainstream and those who have become disenfranchised from the mainstream.  It also emphasizes that God has a special concern for the poor<ref>Sider, Ronald J. ''Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger'' (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2005).</ref><ref>Van Til, Kent A. ''Less Than Two Dollars a Day'' (Grand Rapids: William B. Eerdmans, 2007).</ref> and proposes that social capital for marginalized persons is increased while [[emotional]] and [[spirtuality|spiritual]] support is offered to them.  An important tenet of the theology of relational care is reciprocity—that the relationship is mutually enriching for both parties.  The theology of relational care stresses relational [[justice]], the idea that human beings have an inalienable right to be in relationship with other human beings.<ref>Frame, John Christopher.

-The theology of relational care is rooted in Jesus’ injunction that people [[Parable of the Good Samaritan|love their neighbors]], and is modeled from Jesus’ earthly practice of, and teachings about, relational ministry.<ref>{{bibleverse||Luke|10:25-37}}</ref> For example, in Jesus’ ministry, he was intentional about spending time with those who were marginalized.  And in the [[Parable of the Good Samaritan]], Jesus commended the person who cared for the one who had been overlooked by others.<ref>{{bibleverse||Luke|10:25-37}}</ref>
