As we continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, Tennessee Interfaith Power and Light offers our heart-felt gratitude to those on the front lines of care. We offer some thoughts on caring for ourselves, caring for others in our community, while continuing to care for all creation.

Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz from San Francisco recently published The Six Spiritual Prescriptions for Coronavirus
- There is no value in placing blame (deal with our issues and learn from them)
- Be afraid – but channel that fear productively
- Wipe out evil with more compassion, more justice, and more humility
- Embrace a sabbatical through renewal and nourishing the soul
- Be gentle through understanding others
- Love is contagious, too – take actions inspired by love and joy
If you are unable to attend a place of worship to sustain your spiritual health, various houses of worship offer online services across Tennessee.
