These lists represent a collection of grantee-produced and/or curated resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grantees have, of course, developed many more resources than are found here. We have tried to focus on resources related to the economics of ministry, rather than worship or other topics (other partners have been curating in these spaces, including our friends at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and at Faith and Leadership). To suggest additional resources, please email Elise Barrett at [email protected].
