The United Reformed Church has published a discussion paper for Church leaders to consider as they consider what they need to do once we begin the process of emerging from the current Coronavirus-related restrictions.
“Ready for the new “normal”:
A discussion paper for a pandemic recovery and resumption plan” is divided into three sections:
A Road Map for Reflection: where we are, how we travel forward
Resuming Activities in Shared Physical Space: questions to help with planning
Taking stock, reviewing principles, doing things differently.
Church leaders may find the document helpful in considering new opportunities post lockdown and how to address the challenges facing them. As the writers conclude: “The world has changed. It cannot go back to how it was, and in many, many ways, neither should it seek so to do”.
