4: How Christian pastors have pushed back against COVID conspiracy theories
Manage episode 296735085 series 2939355
Over the course of the pandemic, we’ve heard about some of the people who refused to follow public health rules. There are the anti-maskers, the people who can’t seem to stay two meters apart from others and those that set up illegal gyms for their workouts.
And then there are the religious institutions. Public-health officials in Canada and the United States have intervened to shut down different religious groups that persisted in holding gatherings despite legal orders to ban them.
While a few pastors publicly repeated conspiracy theories about COVID-19, other pastors took a different approach. To engage with the skeptics in their congregations.
In today’s episode, the National Post’s Tyler Dawson takes a closer look at churches and COVID conspiracies.
