Faith-based response/How is coronavirus/affecting the way we worship?  

• Keep Creating  cultures of awareness and empowerment.
• Follow the medical advice and health protocols outlined by the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO). Information is power!
• Educate and inform to mitigate fear and to help people engage in self-care and other health protocols:
• Be aware, but don’t be afraid
• Strengthen your immune system (get proper rest/sleep; eat a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin D [go outside and get some sunlight], selenium, and zinc)
• Eat nutritionally dense foods (a predominantly plant-based diet including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes)
• Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
• De-stress
• Observe non-pharmaceutical interventions such as:
• Hygiene—wash hands frequently with soap and water. When soap and water aren’t readily accessible, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers that are at least 60% alcohol to decontaminate hands. Keep unwashed hands from eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Social Distancing—use social distancing measures as much as possible by avoiding large gatherings of people; minimize travel; minimize contact with those who have fever/flu/respiratory symptoms. Self-quarantine if symptoms arise.
• Environmental Cleanliness—frequently decontaminate shared surfaces such as doorknobs, phones, keyboards, appliances, tabletops, and counters with disinfectant.
• Get involved with problem-solving and crisis management discussions
• Re-evaluate communication delivery systems when a temporary moratorium is placed on community gatherings
• Develop engaging/interactive multimedia opportunities online
• Establish virtual/augmented reality platforms
• Capitalize on/expand the use of e-church programming
• Equip parishioners and congregants to think of themselves as industry-specific problem solvers
• Create inter-organization and intra-organization response teams
• Be response ready
• Work with healthcare professionals
• Deploy, pray for, and support government/social agencies, etc.
• Pray
• Prayer is not only a spiritual weapon but also a practical weapon
• In an age of technology, faith is a spiritual technology with long term, social, spiritual, economic, political, and cultural implications
• Pray for healthy immune systems
• Pray for caregivers and health professionals
• Pray for our governments and government agencies
• Pray for a medical/scientific breakthrough
• Pray for a cure, recovery, and healing miracles
• Pray for our communities, institutions, and nations of the world

As a faith-based community, we have a powerful voice—both a social and political voice, as well as a spiritual voice. We can speak with wisdom into the institutions and systems of this world as boldly as we pray for wisdom. Now is the time to lift up our voice and make it heard on behalf of humanity in both government halls and heavenly realms. The world needs the wisdom, compassion, and counsel of God’s people.
