| Summary: | This article explores how the Burmese, traumatized by deepening political crisis and state violence resulting from the military coup in February 2021, have endured the devastation of the virus, how that staggering virus shattered churches, and how churches, with modest assets, managed to help each other to survive together. Amid an inexpressible health crisis tearing them apart, churches epitomized grace, compassion, resilience, and hope by caring for and serving people, especially the most vulnerable and poorest in society. Sharing suffering together, keeping each other as brothers and sisters, and moving on, despite everything, represent the best in the Christian tradition. |
