Publisher's Synopsis
In the winter of 2019, at the dawn of a new decade and the height of an economic global boom, COVID-19 emerged from Wuhan, China and ravaged the entire globe within the matter of 100 days. In addition to world governments being brought to their knees, faith communities were forced to quickly respond to the rapidly changing nature of the pandemic. Rather than attempting to solve problems in a vacuum, Church Life in a Coronavirus World takes a deep dive through history and draws out wisdom for today. By looking at Church responses from numerous plagues, famines, and periods of persecution, Rev. Fr. Michael Sorial unearths valuable insights that reflect a creativity from the ancient world and a willingness to make difficult decisions for the sake of God's glory to serve humanity. These lessons help the Church respond to theological and spiritual questions, liturgical considerations, and social necessities in a Coronavirus world.
