Please explain which one between "concerning" and "concerned" should be used?

[shri62]

My pick is C on this one. Whats the Official Answer ?

[comp_bos]

My Pick C "Concerned about"

[SuM]

C would be best.
Concerned about means worried.

[ravin]

C it is

[giomar]

Another vote for C.

"Concerning" is wrong because it wrongly modifies christians.It is saying that christians contain "concerns" about social issues.Here an adjective is needed to correctly say that christians are "worried" or "concerned" about theses issues.

Thanks a lot giomar.
I have one question left.
Therefore, "concerned" in this sentence acts as adj. not past participle.
Right?

[giomar]

yes,that´s correct
