What might church and mission look like in a post COVID-19 era?
Manage episode 431950220 series 3590314
Our global societies have been shaken—and the church with it. All routines have been upset, and even our practice of going to church has been derailed. The impacts are so broad and all-encompassing we struggle to grasp the implications. We are so tethered to past practices and traditions, it is difficult to hear what we are being told—that we are in this for the long-haul and won’t be returning to the way it was before! It is just not sinking in—normal life (whatever that was!) is on hold for the foreseeable future. Perhaps we just don’t want to believe what we are being told. We are trying to convince ourselves that we will soon be back to how it was before COVID-19. And of course for us as believers, that will mean we will soon get back to church—as it was before. But, what if this is the new normal? There will be a post COVID-19 era. However, there is a consensus that this pandemic will redefine how we live in the future. And, if this is true, will church ever be the same again? What might church and mission look like? Peter Roennfeldt will explore practical applications of key SHIFTm2M principles to our rapidly changing and evolving environments of ministry—applying the 1st century methods of Jesus and the apostles for our 21st century.
