For a Time Like This: Contagious

“Contagion is real, but it doesn’t just work for viruses. It works for kind words and generous thoughts, and acts of selflessness and honesty."
Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times

For A Time Like This looks at how Christians came to be known as contagious people. Sharing love and compassion as fast as illness spread from person to person. That call to love our neighbour as ourselves remains key to who we are as people of the cross.

With insight from Rodney Stark and music by Jenny Moore, the rector of saint ben's Jamie Howison explores how we can continue to turn toward love and compassion in the shadow of the pandemic.
