“Faith has been broken/Tears must be cried” Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
When someone uses the word “faith,” it’s usually in a religious sense. That’s because most of us have a grasp of what it means to have faith or not in a supreme being, creator or saviour.
But in a crisis, human beings put their faith in a lot of things, not just God.
Political leaders. Science. Our institutions. The health-care system. Progress. The military. Our fellow humans. The future. Long-term care homes.
Our faith in all of those has been tested since March 11, 2020, when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, plunging us into an ordeal that has dominated our daily lives and claimed nearly three million lives worldwide so far.
