Coronavirus and the Church of Jesus Christ
from Christian Concern:
Tim Dieppe, Head of Public Policy, summarises what was discussed at a recent online forum run by Affinity on the Church’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Affinity organised an online forum about coronavirus and the Church which took place on Monday. It was really well-organised with six speakers each given 15 minutes to present on different aspects of the topic, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. The event was well-supported and the whole thing was captured on YouTube here. I have summarised the talks below which were all excellent, though sometimes with differing perspectives.
