GRACE-FILLED WAYS YOU CAN HELP DURING THIS CORONOVIRUS OUTBREAK Martin Luther - in 1527! - published a pamphlet that was distributed during an outbreak of the Plague. Luther wrote quite modernly about measures to protect one’s self by physical distancing, seeking medical help when necessary, practicing good hygiene techniques, etc. What he also included in the pamphlet was that as followers of Christ we remain responsive to “…wherever your neighbor…need[s] your presence.” Part of our challenge AND opportunity as faithful people is to remain creative in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic of how we can continue to care for our neighbor, even as we stay in place, and do our part to help control the pandemic.
