Pastors Paul Carter, Paul Martin, Rob Godard, Steve Bray, and Clint Humfrey talk about pastoring in a pandemic.
Topics covered include:
1. The James Coates’ situation. What happened and how did it become such a source of division in Canadian churches?
2. Political engagement – how much and how much is too much?
3. Regathering on the other side – healing wounds, rebuilding and reaching out.
