2) Brethren Disaster Ministries suspends volunteer travel to rebuilding sites, Children\u2019s Disaster Services postpones spring trainings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brethren Disaster Ministries has been closely monitoring the rapidly changing information about the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, the illness that it causes. \u201cWe have been tracking where the virus has been reported with an eye toward making decisions regarding our rebuilding project sites and out of concern for our volunteers, leaders, host communities, and the clients in whose homes we work,\u201d said an announcement today. \u201cAfter considerable discussion and prayer, BDM has made the decision to temporarily suspend all volunteer travel to rebuilding sites.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two upcoming Children\u2019s Disaster Services (CDS) trainings are being postponed and rescheduled to minimize non-essential travel for trainers and participants. Trainings scheduled for Lombard, Ill., and for Tulsa, Okla., this spring are rescheduled for this fall. Registered participants also may transfer to trainings scheduled for other locations this summer, or request a refund. \u201cWe apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,\u201d said the CDS staff. \u201cWe feel the safety of participants and trainers is our priority at this time. We will continue to monitor and assess the emerging situation in the US with careful consideration for future events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brethren Disaster Ministries announcement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Travel to the rebuilding project site in the Carolinas is suspended until April 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Travel to Puerto Rico is suspended until April 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Travel to Project 2 in Tampa, Fla., is suspended completely as that site was already scheduled to close on April 4. Brethren Disaster Ministries is working with its partners in Tampa to make sure that the work will be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— A new \u201cProject 2″ site was scheduled to open April 19 in a new location, but likely will be delayed. Brethren Disaster Ministries staff are in conversation with local partners to determine when an opening may be possible in Dayton, Ohio, to support tornado recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are continuing to monitor the situation and will make decisions regarding volunteer travel to project sites as these dates get closer,\u201d said the announcement. \u201cVolunteers who are scheduled to serve after mid-April will be contacted as soon as possible if the suspension is extended or an opening to Project 2 is determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe difficult decision to suspend volunteer travel was made using guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and local and state government authorities. We have also been in conversation with the partners with whom we work at our sites and who host our volunteers, as well as our VOAD partners, many of whom have also begun to limit or suspend volunteer activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe understand that this will be a disappointment to those volunteers who were scheduled to work during this time. Please know that we share this disappointment in not being able to serve those whose homes desperately need repair as well as not being present among those vulnerable communities who are even more in need of the reassurance of God\u2019s love at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, it is out of concern for that very community and for our volunteers and leaders, that we have made this decision to reduce the chance of unwittingly spreading the coronavirus at the project sites or when volunteers return home to their families and communities. We also recognize that many of our clients, as well as many of our volunteers, are in 60-plus age range, which puts them at a higher risk of both contracting the virus and of becoming seriously ill if they do get it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brethren Disaster Ministries requested prayer for the individuals and communities affected by the coronavirus, for those who are sick and their caregivers, and for those in faith-based, healthcare, private, and governmental organizations who are working on the front lines to respond to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement called on Brethren Disaster Ministries volunteers to be aware of those within their own churches and communities who may need comfort or practical or spiritual assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is our hope that, as leaders in your district, you will be in touch with organizers in your community and with state and local VOADs (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster) to learn about ways that volunteers can serve locally to help those affected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Virus forces changes and\/or cancellations of events at all levels of the denomination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Events at all levels of the Church of the Brethren denomination have been changed, canceled, and\/or postponed because of the spread of coronavirus COVID-19, from the Mission and Ministry Board to Bethany Seminary and the Brethren Academy to districts, congregations, and other groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of those announcements:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Bethany Seminary and the Brethren Academy are moving remaining spring 2020 class sessions to Zoom<\/strong> or online formats beginning March 16 until at least April 6. \u201cAll students who would have attended classes in person will join remotely using Zoom synchronous technology,\u201d said an announcement today. \u201cFaculty will be able to teach via Zoom from the classroom, their offices, or their homes. Online courses will proceed as scheduled. In addition, all on-campus activities and gatherings will be suspended for the same period.

     The announcement include information that employees will continue to work on campus and, at this time, the board of trustees meeting will go forward on campus as scheduled. Commencement also will be held as expected. \u201cAny decisions to further restrict campus activity or to resume regularly scheduled classes and activities will be communicated immediately and widely,\u201d the announcement said.
     The Brethren Academy directed independent study units scheduled in conjunction with the Church Planting Conference in May and the Minister\u2019s Association Pre-Annual Conference Event will be held contingent upon whether those events proceed as planned.
     For questions regarding Bethany Seminary course and activity scheduling contact the dean\u2019s office at deansoffice@bethanyseminary.edu<\/a> or 765-983-1815. For questions regarding Brethren Academy courses contact Janet Ober Lambert at oberja@bethanyseminary.edu<\/a> or 765-983-1820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— A performance by Ken Medema and Ted Swartz<\/strong> has been canceled by South Central Indiana District. The event was scheduled for this Saturday, March 14, at Manchester Church of the Brethren. \u201cWe hope to reschedule it for later this year,\u201d said the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— The District Women\u2019s Retreat in Middle Pennsylvania District<\/strong> has been canceled. The retreat was to be led by Sarah Steele on the topic, \u201cPsssstttt…. Are You Listening?\u201d and was scheduled for April 3-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— A \u201cSeeking First the Kingdom\u201d training event led by Ronald Sider and Shane Claiborne<\/strong> has been canceled by Lancaster (Pa.) Church of the Brethren. The event was scheduled for March 21-22. \u201cEfforts will be made to reschedule the event for March 2021,\u201d said an announcement. \u201cWhile we do not want to panic,\u201d said lead pastor Misty Wintsch, \u201cwe do want to be prudent.\u201d She and pastor Don Fitzkee will preach for the March 22 services instead of Shane Claiborne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— A Ted Swartz and Ken Medema production of \u201cCan We Talk? Conversations for Change\u201d<\/strong> has been canceled in Southern Ohio and Kentucky District. The event had been scheduled for March 15 at Northmont High School Auditorium. The district also has canceled the Camping and Retreat Ministries Simple Living Weekend that was scheduled for March 27-28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Bridgewater (Va.) College<\/strong>\u00a0is among the colleges and universities that have made the decision to cancel all classes and school-sponsored events and travel.\u00a0Juniata College<\/strong>\u00a0in Huntingdon, Pa., is among those that have extended spring breaks and made decisions to move classes online, while caring for students who may still need on-campus housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Some Church of the Brethren congregations are offering live-streamed worship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A number of Church of the Brethren congregations already offer live streaming of worship services. Now those congregations are in a position to be able to offer worship and fellowship online in the event in-person worship services are canceled because of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The denomination\u2019s one fully online congregation is the Living Stream church. The pastoral team of the congregation has offered strategies for other churches to continue in fellowship while quarantined or isolated. One way is to find another Church of the Brethren with which to worship over the Internet. Another option is to set up a way that your congregation can still share services over the Internet directly with your own members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most significant advantage to this option is that your local faith community would still be able to be in touch with each other,\u201d said the Living Stream pastoral team. \u201cOptions could include Facebook Live, YouTube Live, or–perhaps best of all for smaller congregations–a Zoom video conference meeting. Some of these options might take a little time to set up (for instance, a YouTube Live channel must first pass a verification process), so preparing a contingency plan ahead of time is recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Living Stream pastoral team and \u201ctech deacons\u201d are offering to help other congregations that may have questions or need assistance to put their own online worship in place. Contact assistance@LivingStreamCOB.org<\/a> . The Living Stream church worships online at 5 p.m. (Pacific time) every Sunday evening; go to www.LivingStreamCOB.org<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other congregations that offer online worship experiences include, among others, Beacon Heights Church of the Brethren in Fort Wayne, Ind., and Elizabethtown (Pa.) Church of the Brethren. Elizabethtown is extending an invitation for other congregations to join them in worship at 10:30 a.m. [Eastern time] on Sunday mornings, go to www.etowncob.org<\/a> and click the yellow Live Stream button to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church of the Brethren communications staff are collecting a list of congregations offering online worship experiences for posting on the denominational website. Please send your congregation name, city, state, and the link for online worship to\u00a0cobnews@brethren.org<\/a>\u00a0. A list of online worship opportunities will be added to \u201cFind a Church\u201d at\u00a0www.brethren.org\/church<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— The Office of Peacebuilding and Policy is informing church members of the humanitarian effects<\/strong> of US sanctions on Iran, causing food insecurity. In a blogpost dated March 12, the office\u2019s food insecurity intern Priscilla Weddle reviewed the effects on food insecurity and hunger in Iran from sanctions re-imposed in 2018 covering shipping, finance, and energy, aimed at curbing Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities. \u201cThese sanctions have had a devastating impact on the country\u2019s economy and its citizens,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIran\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP) contracted an estimated 4.8% in 2018 and was forecast to shrink another 9.5% in 2019 (International Monetary Fund, 2019). Living costs have also risen as a result of inflation. Inflation is estimated to reach 38% with rates being especially high for food items; for example, the cost of meat has gone up 116 percent (World Bank, 2019). The rising food prices and unemployment rate has resulted in many families being unable to purchase basic items…. The Church of the Brethren Office of Peacebuilding and Policy has strong concerns about the welfare of the Iranian people because of the ways in which economic sanctions are correlated with insecurity and deprivation.\u201d Find the full blogpost at https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/blog\/2020\/us-sanctions-on-iran-food-insecurity<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— The World Council of Churches (WCC) is taking steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19<\/strong> including canceling or postponing certain meetings, limiting travels, closing the Visitors Program through April, and offering online communication in lieu of person-to-person gatherings. In a letter to staff, WCC general secretary Olav Fykse Tveit commended their important work, commitment, and competence. \u201cWe also do the work with some risks,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNow we are in a situation where we together have to handle the risk related to COVID-19.\u201d The WCC will do what is relevant and necessary to avoid spreading the virus to others who can become seriously ill, Tveit stated. \u201cWe have to do it to protect those in our constituency who live in contexts with health systems that would struggle to handle such an outbreak,\u201d he said. \u201cWe also have to avoid that our work is blocked by absences and quarantine measures, here or elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
