Political Theology in the History of the Church

During the pandemic, Canadian evangelicals debated various approaches to political theology because of the pressures of the COVID-19 virus and the attendant governmental restrictions.

Easter After Exile

Paul Carter

The global pandemic due to COVID19 caused most churches in North America and around the world to pause large gatherings to allow some breathing space for health officials to understand and hopefully contain this rapidly spreading virus. Like many other congregations, we were disappointed, but not dismayed. We would miss the opportunity to wear our bright coloured clothes, to sing our loudest and most triumphant songs and to revisit together the glory that is ours through the power and victory of Jesus Christ.
