The Pandemic Is Forcing Us To Rethink How We ‘Do Church’

The pandemic has forced all of us to look for the thousand ways as to how we “do Church” and carry on our responsibilities as pastors and the stewards of Christ’s Church. The Church is a divine institution and thus the Church is unshakable. The real Church is not a physical entity, but the fellowship of the faithful, which grows spiritually in the application of the Word of God.

When I think of the pandemic, I then envision the way the apostles of Christ, our Lord have accomplished their mission in spreading the Word of God and taking on the martyrdom in resemblance to the life of the Master.

Thus the pandemic cannot be a reason to fail in our mission. Most civic leaders who are emptied from the love of God cannot see the depth of our Christian Faith.
