About This Course
It’s been a long few years of dealing with an ongoing pandemic. Leadership burnout, congregation rifts, and confusion about best practices can keep us on edge about meeting in person with each new variant. Amid all this, we must be empathetic leaders, listening, understanding, and guiding our congregants to the best decision for themselves and the community. In collaboration with InterFaith America, this course walks you through developing a theological framework in regard to the Covid-19 vaccine, communicating with empathy, and preparing a response plan to share with your community. Join us as we come together as a community to protect the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our neighbors!
