Description :
Opportunity is born out of crisis. The global pandemic has been horrific. No
one could have predicted such chaos to occur for so long. Yet, there is
opportunity, the proverbial silver lining. Crisis is an accelerator. The church
was catapulted into the digital future. Some churches had no choice but to
embrace technology they once refused. The church learned there are more
ways to offer worship than we had previously imagined. We learned it is
possible to engage people in online ministry that might never become involved
in on-site ministry. The church learned that it could change, and it changed
quickly. During a pandemic period, when everything seems to have turned
upside down, there is an opportunity to stop some things that had not been
working anyway, eliminate some things that were seemingly impossible in
“nomal”times, and start new things that might have been hard to
imagine in the past.As some churches began to resume on-site worship,
another quandary came into being. How many of our folks will return? What
does social distancing look like in a sanctuary with pews? How do we handle
singing? What about the choir? Masks or no masks? What about our meet and
greet time? How do we collect the offering?As the church begins to emerge
from the pandemic, our role is changing. It was already changing prepandemic,
but the change is sure to escalate drastically post-pandemic. Being
The Church in a Post-Pandemic World is designed to serve as a guide to what
conversations might be helpful for you and your church’sleadership.
This book is to be used as a tool, not an instrument of judgement or criticism.
This resource was created out of a heart full of love for the local church and
the hope it will be helpful in finding our next faithful steps to being the vital
church in the post-pandemic world.TestimonialsKay Kotan characterizes eight
game changers of Being The Church in a Post-Pandemic World. This book is
an insightful and engaging resource that guides the reader through questions
to ponder and a current assessment of your church that leads to better
preparation for church leadership.Bishop Sharma D. LewisRichmond
Episcopal Area of The United Methodist Church Kay Kotan captures well the
experiences of congregations in a year of engaging a pandemic while seeking
to fulfill their mission in such a changed context. She then offers a series of
traits important for churches as they emerge from this stressful time. Finally,
she offers a framework for congregations to think about their next steps in a
more productive way than simply returning to a “nomal”that was
comfortable, but far from everything God intends for us. Lovett H. Weems,
Jr.Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DCKay Kotan perceives the
new possibilities for congregations in a post pandemic world, and with
compelling vision and practical wisdom she provides guidance for
congregations and leaders who wish to create “away in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert”(Isaiah 43:19).Bishop Kenneth L. CarderDuke
Divinity SchoolThe Church has experienced a great disruption through the
Covid-19 pandemic. It will never be the same. Some churches long to return to
pre-pandemic ways of being, but that is unlikely. Kay has brought her
expertise and research together to help congregational leaders consider what
it will take to be the Church, and to emerge from this pandemic with a renewed
faithfulness, flexibility, and fruitfulness.Phil MaynardAuthor of Disciple Like
JesusKay writes with a voice of a prophet, and she is a witness and warrior.
Her perceptions and predictions make this resource both a tool and a tactical
manual. Rodney SmothersThe Baltimore –Washington Conference of
