The Church and Covid

De: James G Whitelaw

Narrado por: David Kresser

In this short book, we will attempt to answer some earnest questions which have arisen over the past year and a half during the Coronavirus pandemic.

I have very strong reservations about this "pandemic" and the course of actions that governments are following due to the situation. Still, I will try to leave the dispute on this to others far more qualified than me to discuss such matters and concentrate on the question of the Church's response to the events of the past 18 months (2020-2021). Of course, this will be difficult for me, as I have passionate feelings on the subject.

We will examine what the events are which affect the Church and what the Church's position is. Finally, we will explore what authority the State has over the Church in these matters, both from a secular and spiritual standpoint.

We will then examine what the Church's response should have been and, indeed, still should be concerning these events. Finally, we will conclude that not only have our Churches failed us, but Her Majesty, the Queen, has also failed us in her capacity as leader of the Church of England, as well as in her oath to protect her subjects.

All churches, almost without exception, have failed their congregation, have failed their communities and have left the lost with nowhere to turn to at a time of great trouble.

Very interesting listen!

This short but sweet listen is on point with our modern-day Covid-19 situation. God knows what will happen next but the pandemic should not limit our ability to worship. Church's and governments were caught off-guard with this pandemic and it created a situation where people felt like their government and church has failed them. At around a 40 minute run time this was a good quick listen, and worth it.
