Corona Virus And The Dilemma of the Church Emmanuel Ezeji

Covid-19 Virus, a pandemic that has ravaged the whole world, disrupted the people's normal way of live, crippled the economy of countries of the world and has made worship centers shadows of themselves. Due to it's high morbidity and mortality rates, countries of the world keep recording increased fatality. The Church is a place known for worship, healing, rejuvenation, soul feeding and so much more. Since this Virus spreads at high rates, gatherings and crowded places are avoided optimally. Different governments of the world imposed lock down, after that, made laws prohibiting people from going to over crowded places. The Church recorded reduced numbers of worshippers, had so much families to cater for as people's sources of income were affected, the church purse was stressed. So much fear, worry and anxiety kept building up as people were so terrified with the number of deaths every now and then. The dilemma of the Church cannot be overemphasized.
