This will be our first Bible Study session for our Pandemic Bible Study. For a full description of this program, check out the page for our initiative here. Here is our outline for discussion:

Session 1: Sickness in Scripture, Shame, and Social Distancing

• What does the Hebrew Bible say about social distancing and dealing with sickness as a community?

• How has plague and sickness been interpreted by the Church historically — for better or, often, for worse?

• What do the Gospels have to show us about how to deal with sickness in our lives and community, and our mission to be loving agents of God’s work in the world?
