On Wednesday Friends Journal executive director Gabe Ehri told us all to work from home until further notice. Fortunately we had just gotten the April issue off to press, which is good because final proofing is best done in person. Now we’re all pinging each other with Slack and Zoom and hunkering down into the new normal.
We do have an article on COVID-19 from Katie Breslin and I’m updating it with Quaker resources that I’m finding. There are a lot. Every yearly and monthly meetings is taking this seriously. All of my public events this weekend have now been canceled.
It will be interesting to see how we all adapt. I think I’m going to be a lot chattier online to make up for the loss of face-to-face contacts. I expect this email newsletter to go back to frequent postings. If you find resources you think I should share let me know by email (martink@martinkelley.com) or Twitter (martin_kelley). Be safe everyone. Check in our your neighbors. Be generous. Enjoy the little joys that come with isolation (I’m happy to lose my commute for awhile and to see my family more). And keep everyone in your prayers.
