What does it mean to be a person of faith in the 21st century? What does it mean to be a Christian in the age of anxiety? How to love and stay together in a time of social distancing? It seems that we are facing various pandemics in our contemporary world. COVID-19 is one of them, but there is also nationalism, racial segregation, or extreme global inequality. The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis makes us stop and ask fundamental questions about human dignity, freedom, and respect for each other. Who am I? Where am I going? What is important? We are wondering how the world will look like after the COVID-19 pandemic is over. But, how can we fight the other pandemics? What the world would look like without them? The famous words of Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream, are still true today.
