CAROL STREAM, Ill., Dec. 7 /Standard Newswire/ -- Should churches abandon the common cup during communion? Is it unsafe to extend the peace of Christ with a handshake during worship? Are we spreading too many germs when we hold hands during prayer? In light of the continuing news about the H1N1 influenza outbreak, churches across the nation are wrestling with questions like these and trying to make wise and sensible decisions to keep their congregations safe and healthy.
To help in that undertaking, ChurchSafety.com is offering, for free, the 31-page electronic resource, "Preparing Your Church for a Pandemic." The download offers church leaders advice on how to organize a response plan, communicate effectively with staff and members, and set up policies to stem the risk and spread of infection.
"This resource provides practical, comprehensive help for navigating this season of overwhelming illness," explains Marian Liautaud, editor of Churchsafety.com, a website created by Christianity Today International and Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company offering churches expert advice and risk management information on a broad range of safety topics. "Whether or not you're faced with the threat of H1N1, every church should be prepared to respond to a health crisis that could affect their entire congregation."
The download is especially timely as churches prepare for the holiday season when many congregations experience their highest levels of activity and attendance. To download the resource, visit http://ChurchSafety.com and select the "Emergencies" tab. The resource is available free of charge until December 31, 2009.
Christianity Today International is a not-for-profit Christian media ministry founded by Billy Graham in 1956, with nine publications and an award-winning website reaching more than 2.5-million unique visitors monthly.
