Responding to COVID-19

Web Statement

March 4, 2020

The role of churches, dioceses and compassionate Christians responding to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is to: 

• Combat fear with knowledge in order to encourage preparedness and decrease stigma.
• Maintain operational continuity and continue worship life in the case of potential quarantine and disruption.
• Show God’s compassion and care to those in our communities who are affected.
