Per previous thread, there& #39;s a significant gap in evangelical theology irt sickness, weakness, chronic illness, etc. I& #39;ve got to believe that this is part of the reason we see such cavalier responses to a global pandemic.

If people don& #39;t have a theology of human fraility, if they have functional prosperity gospel, weakness is akin to sinfulness. So that acknowledging weakness in anyway, including adhering to safety protocols, is a sign of spiritual immaturity.

If you& #39;re pastoring individuals or congregation thru this moment, please be aware that there& #39;s more going on than politics. That& #39;s only presenting symptom. More likely, you& #39;re looking at Qs of how we understand weaknessness, human vulnerability, & a larger spiritual meritocracy.
