New challenges, big questions
As you’ll be experiencing already, this pandemic has thrown so much of our normal lives into chaos and confusion. With that challenge, new questions are emerging, and we want to help answer them. But we need each other – if you have ideas, if you’re seeing good things happen that you want people to know about, if you have a question you want answering – please get in touch.
“We urge you sisters and brothers to become a different sort of church in these coming months: hopeful and rooted in the offering of prayer and praise and overflowing in service to the world.”
Here are just some of the questions we now face:
What happens to face-to-face youth work when we’re all social distancing? We know that social distancing is vital in slowing the spread of the virus, but we also know we can’t just give up on our relationship networks, particularly for those who may have no one else to support them.
How can youth workers help protect the vulnerable? (e.g. older volunteers they usually work with, as well as young people who are also at risk)
What are the theological resources for Coronavirus? What does Christian hope look like in this situation? What happens to church when we no longer gather?
