Preaching Goes Viral

Faith in a time of COVID-19

[don't use] Embodiment

[don't use] Ritualization and newer ritualsituals during the pandemic

Social and political action by religious groups

[don't use] In-person communal gatherings (adapted)

It will be important to consider what activities can be continued, which need to be adapted and which must be postponed until the pandemic is over. There are examples of churches adapting their care activities to continue providing support, while keeping safe both those helping and those being helped. e.g. Where churches have before offered meals for the homeless, they now offer ‘take away’ meals that can be collected outside the church building. Food banks and home food deliveries for those self-isolating will be lifelines for many.
