WAS THE CHURCH
COLLATERAL DAMAGE?
“Was The Christian Church The Intended Target
Or Part Of The Spillover Effects”
There has been much speculation as to whether or
not the coronavirus was the wrath of God executing long
overdue His Judgment upon the world. The confusion
for many is that the church population has been just as
affected by the COVID as the unchurched.
Church leaders and their members had begun
dropping early in the pandemic. There’s no doubt about
it, the coronavirus is no respecter of person or status.
Anyone is fair game. Well-established longstanding
denominations were losing their state, national and
international executive clergy in record numbers.
