"COVID-19 was globally recognized as a pandemic in the first quarter of 2020. As a life-threatening illness that is brought on by a new Coronavirus and its far-reaching implications at individual and collective levels, we venture to add that very few among us, which includes not only humans but also our ecosystem, have remained unscathed by it. What differentiates the impact that we have experienced is perhaps the degree of loss of life, health as well as livelihood, the familiar and overall human security. We are cognizant that no single special or thematic journal issue may offer deliberations that would faithfully and adequately address the breadth of political, economic, biomedical, ecological, philosophical, scientific and socio-cultural - and within a Christian framework - ontological, ethical, ecclesiastical, and theological shifts that are impacted by COVID-19. But we humbly offer this issue as our contribution to the ongoing global discourse and add our voices and praxis as interlocutors with the aim of engendering a humility and resilience borne from the recognition that we are so profoundly interconnected with each other and the ecosystem at large."--Page 7
