On Sat­ur­day I talked with the author of the Friends Jour­nal arti­cle about Quak­er meet­ings’ adap­ta­tion to COVID-19. We talked about the online meet­ings replac­ing in-person First-day wor­ship and also some of the cre­ative ways the pas­toral teams of some Quak­er meet­ings and church­es are sup­port­ing iso­lat­ed members.

In cri­sis is oppor­tu­ni­ty. I won­der if the tools we’re adapt­ing to care for one anoth­er (both spir­i­tu­al­ly and prac­ti­cal­ly) will remain use­ful after life returns to normal.
