Handling Negative Reviews & Comments Online
Caffeinated Church offers some tips and tricks for engaging (or not) with snarky, negative, hateful, or spam comments on social media or a review site:
Don’t ignore negative messages, especially on public platforms. Unless you are a church with thousands of negative comments and messages a day, you do not have the luxury of affording those comments going unnoticed or unacknowledged. This not only makes the commenter feel as if their experience and anger has gone unheard, but it makes visitors, church shoppers, and everyone else who can see that comment believe that you are trying to avoid confronting the issue and the person behind it. In this moment, everyone who can see the unacknowledged comment or message will begin to doubt your level of public engagement with your community.

Financial Interconnectedness Amidst COVID-19
There is a lot to consider in this timely, thoughtful reflection from Miguel Escobar on the Episcopal Church, its institutions, finances, the pandemic, and where we could go from here.
“Self-help” is the opposite of a faithful approach in times like these. Episcopalians are the inheritors of examples from the first to fourth centuries wherein Christians saw themselves as one part of a larger church body, and pulled together to aid the hardest-hit assemblies and individuals in their communities during times of disaster.
Rather than self-help and financial isolation, it is financial interconnectedness that is in our DNA.
