“Social Distancing” – if that phrase wasn’t an important part of your vocabulary before March 2020, it likely is now. The COVID-19 outbreak has led to policies that prohibit in-person public gatherings, and has forced religious communities into uncharted territory, requiring faith leaders to navigate safety guidelines while continuing to respond to the needs of their communities.
In today's episode we discuss (over Zoom, of course) the challenges to providing pastoral care in this time of the pandemic, with three New York City faith leaders, to hear how they’re fostering connection, engagement, and well-being in the midst of a worldwide crisis.
Joining us for this conversation are:
- Rabbi Isaiah Rothstein, Rabbi-in-Residence, Hazon: The Jewish Lab for Sustainability
- Father Mark Lane, Brooklyn Oratory parish of St. Boniface
- Rev. Kyndra Frazier, Associate Pastor of Congregational Care and Wellness at First Corinthian Baptist Church, and Executive Director of The Hope Center.
