Creativity, Compassion, and the Coronavirus
In this time of social distancing, fear, and great uncertainty, faith communities are more important than ever, but let’s be honest: this current Coronavirus crisis stresses and stretches faith leaders in unique ways.
The BTS Center has teamed up with the podcast Reports from the Spiritual Frontier to release a podcast series, some online meet-ups, and other resources to support and equip faith leaders for this particular moment.
We are spending a good deal of time talking with faith leaders about ministry during COVID-19: how to move your communities to a digital space, how to stay spiritually grounded in the midst of the anxiety that swirls around us, and how you can best love your neighbors during this time of social isolation and fear, among other timely topics.
Listen to the podcast, consisting of short, 20-minute conversations — links are posted below — and return often to this page for additional resources and online meet-up opportunities.
