"Love looks like an empty sanctuary," one pastor said. But after weeks of not gathering in person, it's the emptiness in the offering plate that's really hurting churches. And it's not necessarily the pastors' salaries or the building upkeep that worries leaders. It's the impact on ministry. "If this keeps up," one Baltimore pastor told the AP, "we can't fund all [of] our outreach to help other people." But, thanks to the Trump administration's insistence that churches be included in the virus relief, the president had good news: Help is on the way! (It just required some last-minute fixes first.)

If there's one thing David Benham isn't social distancing from, it's his convictions. So when police showed up outside a North Carolina abortion clinic that was still operating on Saturday and told his group to stop counseling pregnant moms, he didn't blink. If abortions can continue during the coronavirus, he insisted, then so should pro-life ministry.

Thinking Outside the Box, Inside the Crisis

As communities and our nation respond to the coronavirus sufferers with medical and economic aid, there is a role for the church -- on the front lines of our communities in a unique and personal way. As it says in 1 Corinthians 12:26, "If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it." People of faith must put loving hands to work, and there are many things we, the faith community, are uniquely able to do. But in this present crisis we have to have a paradigm shift; churches have to think and act outside the "box" -- the four walls of the church.
