In May 2020, in the midst of the initial pandemic lockdowns, Word on Fire released
a free eBook from Stephen Bullivant titled Catholicism in the Time of Coronavirus.
Dr. Bullivant offered an insightful and encouraging analysis of the coronavirus pandemic,
not only shedding light on the Church’s present moment and similar crises in the past but also looking toward the future.That future has now arrived.
As restrictions continue to be lifted, many Catholics are wondering where we go from here.
Word on Fire is now offering a free follow-up eBook, Catholicism after Coronavirus: A Post-COVID Guide for Catholics and Parishes, which is intended to help answer that question.
Featuring a foreword by Dr. Bullivant, this new collection brings together authors from across the Catholic world, offering what the Church so desperately needs to hear right now: bold, courageous, and realistic yet hope-filled insights and ideas from a diverse range of voices among the people of God—laity, clergy, and religious alike.
Catholicism after Coronavirus offers practical advice from those on the frontlines of the Church’s response to the pandemic, with meditations on bereavement, spiritual formation, evangelization, pedagogy and pastoral care, presbyteral ministry, the centrality of the parish, the works of mercy, creative means of pastoral accompaniment, authentic community, and intellectual formation.
