Beskrivning

Believers from a variety of faith communities were asked to assess how the Covid pandemic has affected their faith. The anthology collects their responses to key questions, such as:· How does your faith explain why such events occur?· How has it affected your religious practices?· What changes has it necessitated?· What differences might we expect once the pandemic is over?· What have we learned from it?Two exponents of each major religion and a number of minority faiths comment on these issues, combined with a concluding essay by the editors assessing the overall impact of the pandemic on religion worldwide. Faiths explored include Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Sikh Baha’i, Jain, African Traditional Religion, Zoroastrian, Unitarian, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christian Science.

For religions of all kinds, the imperative to remember is of great importance. As we tentatively move into a post-Covid society, it is easy to forget the impact the pandemic had on our understanding and practice of faith and spirituality. This remarkable collection of reflections from a very wide range of traditions should serve as a multi-faceted reminder to the deep religious and ethical issues which Covid created, uncovered and amplified.
