I've got a lot of 'grit in my craw' as the saying goes, about what happened during the so-called "two weeks to stop the spread". One of the most profound and disappointing things to happen was my church (and many others), just bending the knee and closing down. People NEEDED their faith communities badly and were left alone and adrift. At a minimum, I felt our church pastors/leaders could at least have picked up the phone - there was no outreach at all. It was 2 YEARS, not 2 weeks before the spiritual needs of people were met. It was no wonder that after the first pastoral visit in 2 years (from a pastor who had moved back to the area, not the resident pastors), quite a few of the neglected elderly died the next day or within a few days. They just needed that last Communion, prayer, & what amounted to last rites. BTW, this pastor, while preaching the funeral service for a relative, who died the day after this pastor visited, told this story .... he had the visit scheduled, but was warned that there was a COVID case in the nursing home - did he want to postpone his visit? No, he did not .... he said he always thinks of Jesus, touching the leper .... with the example of Jesus, how could he refuse to go to those who needed him?
Mark 1:40-45 New International Version
40 A man with leprosy[a] came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 Jesus was indignant.[b] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
Driving a country road on the way to a relative's house a year or so ago, I saw a small country church with an old-fashioned sign board ... the kind where you put the letters up one by one, not the new-fangled electronic ones that have become popular. The message was: "We will NEVER EVER close our church doors again."
