The Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission is providing ongoing content addressing issues related to church ministry, life in isolation and the intersection of church and state during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The ERLC — which offers new resources nearly daily at erlc.com/covid19 — is doing so “to help pastors navigate new and challenging dynamics and equip Christians for this ever-evolving situation,” said Daniel Darling, the ERLC’s vice president for communications. “We believe Southern Baptists are ready to serve our most vulnerable neighbors in a variety of ways.

“This season of sacrifice is an opportunity to love our neighbor by protecting the vulnerable and to be a witness for Christ in troubling times,” Darling told Baptist Press in written remarks. “With our hope anchored in the kingdom of Christ, the church can respond well to this pandemic with patient prudence, biblical wisdom and deep faith in God’s sovereignty.”
