Podcast: Religion in the Time of Pandemic

What’s been the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on religion globally? And do we have any idea of what the world’s religious landscape will look like moving forward in a post-pandemic world?

In the latest episode of the Harvard Religion Beat, we’re joined by Dr. David Jones of Harvard Medical School, who offers his insight into how we got to this moment and time, what we should have learned from past pandemics, and what we still can learn from the current pandemic.

Later in the episode, we explore why, in China and India, religious-related violence has emerged as one devastating outcome of the pandemic. We also look at how others religious groups, from Buddhist temples in Japan to small churches in the American heartland, have responded with peace and grace.

Finally, we speak with the Rev. Dr. Gloria White-Hammond and explore how religion (and religious leaders) play a key part in the public’s understanding and response to widespread disease, as well as how religion and the faithful have been impacted by the current Coronavirus pandemic, and what it all means for the future of worship.
