Curious about how the church has responded to pandemics down through history? Wish you could learn lessons to apply today? Missions Frontiers, via author Glenn Sunshine, has made it lots easier. Beginning with the Antonine Plague in 166AD, Glenn traces church action steps and speaks directly to us in 2020. http://www.missionfrontiers.org/issue/article/the-churchs-response-to-pandemics-throughout-history-and-the-lessons-for-to. (Thanks to Kelly and Michèle for bubbling this article up to us!)

Beautiful Feet Task Force is running a series of international leaders zoom meetings, “Where to Now?” (WTN) to address this issue in the church, with apostolic leaders from around the world as guests addressing this issue in interview style.
