What has been your impression of the attitudes, emotions and resilience of Christians during this period of isolation and zoom meetings?
Surprisingly and disappointingly, I have noticed many have been shutting down in their social attitudes and have been introvert and family/domestic orientated.
We have had a very very difficult house move and renovation over 8 months which involved us living in a rented flat and we relieved our stress and isolation from church by phoning and where possible visiting. And because this is what we thought we should do as well. Most seemed not very interested in our situation but certainly wanted to talk about themselves.
My wife and I both noticed that few people would phone us. And have wondered whether when we met together as church in a building, all the conversations after the service were just going through the motions.
What does this bode for after covid when churches really reopen?
