Acton Line

As the United States continues to wrestle with the fallout of COVID-19, many people are falling back on their faith and the church for peace. Many churches have decided to hold services online, and local governments have also stepped in and put parameters around church attendance to help mitigate the spread of the virus. Some actions taken by local governments have been appropriate, but some others leave us wondering if the government has overstepped.

What has the church's response to pandemics looked like in the past? Acton's President and co-founder, Rev. Robert Sirico explains. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
