I, like many others of all kinds of religious beliefs, have had to adapt to the pandemic and its strain on religious groups and their gatherings, which has been kind of difficult but I am now used to.

NC pastor, Southern Baptist Convention push COVID vaccine while facing criticism

When the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Reverend J.D. Greear posted a photo of him getting the COVID-19 vaccine, there was a lot of admiration for him, but also a lot of skepticism. This then opened a conversation about the Evangelical communities, and that while “40% of white Evangelicals will not get the vaccine”, the end of the pandemic seems to weigh heavy on the community, as Evangelicals compose “approx. 20% of the US population”. The challenge is opening a discussion about the COVID-19 vaccines, as it states in the article that many Evangelical Christians would rather leave it “up to God”, or they simply say it’s a personal issue. The article also highlights that many Evangelicals feel comfortable with leaving everything to God as they aren’t afraid of death.

Vaccination: what did Eddy say?

Vaccines, immunity, and the pathway to health

According to Curtis Wahlberg from January 2021, the physical process of COVID-19 is commonly discussed, but the “mental process” is not. Curtis Wahlberg, a Christian Scientist, believes that sickness is not created by God. Without clarity from God, people fall into a “tug of war” between influences on the body. He believes that a struggle in consciousness between mental forces makes individuals feel vulnerable and those that give us a sense of security. Wahlberg claims that the taking the vaccine and complying with the mandate would not compromise beliefs since the material does not matter; what matters is that there is a life that focuses on the Spirit and God.

The Anscombe Bioethics Centre: COVID-19 Briefing Paper 2

The Anscombe Bioethics Centre released a Briefing paper on COVID-19 vaccines in April 2020. While many vaccines are produced using living cells, they can also be produced from the HEK 293 or the PER C6 cell lines from aborted tissue from the 1970’s and 1980’s. When it comes to compliance and consciousness, people are often conflicted at receiving vaccines that use these cell lines. In the paper it states for those who believe abortion is unjust, it should be clear that the use of fetal tissue and its use should also be unjust. According to the article, using the fetal cell lines in the production of vaccines causes a moral issue as the use of the tissue indicates the compliance and acknowledgement of abortion.

Pope Francis to have COVID-19 vaccine, says it is the ethical choice for all

Pope Francis not only will be receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, but stated that he believes it is ethical for everyone to receive the vaccine. He claims that while it is each individual personal ethical choice, other people rely on those around them to be vaccinated. This news article notes that Pope Francis is high-risk due to having one lung and his age. Both Pfizer and BioTech vaccines were available in Vatican City after January 2021.

Preaching about Vaccines to the Black community

This interview highlights Baltimore pastor, Terris King and his actions to advocate for the COVID-19 vaccine. While he advocates for the vaccine, communicating with pharmaceutical companies and the Black community, he has not publicly pledged to take the vaccine as he interprets this pledge to make him look biased. According to King, he would “lose his credibility” as a result. King highlights skepticism within the Black community regarding vaccines, and that the history of medical ethics in relation to minority communities is commonly brought up when concerns about this vaccine arise. King has tried to lower hesitancy and provide more clarity through information sessions, discussing the vaccine(s) in sermons, and answering questions people may have about the vaccines and the science behind them. In one of the information sessions, King had “Johns Hopkins, Pfizer, and Sanofi on the line for prayer services one night” for a presentation that focused on the vaccines that "went very, very well.”

Praying using Technology?

When the pandemic first began and I wasn't able to go to synagogue anymore I was devastated. I thought that prayer was almost pointless because I couldn't be with my community in the place where I felt had the most impact on me. My synagogue adapted immediately to the new ways of the pandemic. The day after the lockdown began we had Shabbat services on zoom which made me feel connected to Judaism as I had never been before. I watched my community come together and it showed me the place of prayer was just a building but the people and the things we practice are what makes me feel so connected to my religion. The article demonstrated how using technology while praying is very beneficial. The author argues another author's claim how it is very distracting and takes away from important messages and the sense of connection. The author demonstrates how using technology helps us evolve and because so many things are moving towards the digital route, religion should also move that way as well. Having religion be digital will allow more people to be able to pray and practice wherever they are. Because this article was written before the pandemic, it gives shes a different light to why technology is useful.
