Episode 2 - Religious belief and practice at home during the COVID-19 pandemic
“I’m talking into your living room from my living room.” Religious belief and practice at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the second podcast exploring how the pandemic has changed our relationship to home, a research project involving museums and universities in London and Liverpool.
This second podcast looks at the impact of COVID-19 on religious practices. It explores how people of different faiths responded to the ‘Stay Home’ directive, how they sustained and adapted religious practices during lockdown and the challenges faced by faith leaders in relation to pastoral care.
Eithne Nightingale from Queen Mary University of London talks to Miri Lawrence, Alastair Owens and David Geiringer also from Queen Mary University of London.
Stay Home – rethinking the domestic during the COVID-19 pandemic is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of the UK Research and Innovation rapid response to COVID-19.
With thanks to all contributors of different faiths and to Jonty Lovell for the soundtrack Blip, a recurring sound he created to reflect the monotony of lockdown life, but also to instil a sense of optimism that things will get better. Follow him on Instagram j.lovemusic.
