The Church in Times of Crisis: Snapshots from American History with Heath Carter
|
|
As we continue to navigate the cascading challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, what can we learn from the past? Over the course of this month-long series we'll consider a number of moments in American history when Christians confronted crisis. In their stories we will not discover ready-made solutions for our contemporary predicament. But along the way we will find plenty of opportunities to reflect on what it means to be people animated by faith, hope, and love, even when it seems like the world is falling apart.

Our beloved Daily Devotionals, written by members of the Witherspoon Street and Nassau Presbyterian Churches, are wrapping up at the end of June. We lift up heartfelt gratitude for the many contributors who blessed us these last several months with their insights, offerings, and wisdom. An extra-special word of thanks is owed to Marcia Wood, whose shepherded this project these many months, Carol Wehrheim, our faithful editor, and Lauren Yeh, staff support. These first-thing-in-the-morning emails have helped us meet each challenging day knowing that together we are the body of Christ. This practice and tradition will return next Lent 2021.
