Religious Worship and Covid

[JazzGal]

My father is a retired Episcopal priest. His local parish has had troubles keeping a regular priest, so he has often been filling in while they work on hiring a new one. This was the situation when COVID hit. They haven't had service since. Which is a shame for me, because we're planning to bury my son who died on March 1st in the garden they have there, and we haven't been able to.

How sad. I hope this is resolved soon.

Gotta watch out for those Natzis.

Natzis are Nazis, but like pretzels.

How has covid affected your religious worship? If you attend church, what changes have been made to safeguard against Covid? My wife and I haven’t attended since March as we have some health concerns. But we’ve enjoyed having the intimacy of a private study session on Sunday and without the stress of callings. There are things we miss obviously. But I’ll admit it’s actually been a lot nicer than I thought.

I've always felt that religion is best practiced at home in isolation. Congregations drag you away from your inner understanding of it with norms, which is in their nature.

Religious person I know posting on instagram something to the effect of "God gave us bodies that can heal, so screw masks and pray." Seems shortsighted to me.

Also crazy super religious "friend" saying Trump will be re elected then assasinated, which will fulfill some prophesy. Not sure which one.

I’ve never understood that whole ideology. I choose to wear a mask whenever I go in a public access building, whether it’s Home Depot, Smith’s, church.
