Forward thinking and adaptive challenges

For the Church, our times are not a temporary interruption but a permanent disruption. For many church leaders, early responses to the pandemic were based on short-term thinking. Going forward, we need to be thinking long-term about the adaptive challenges necessary to thrive in a new world. That doesn't mean we have to change everything about the way we're doing things. The calling is to take our core mission, the things that make St. John the Divine who she is, a special charism, and take that forward.
