An op-ed by Mark Tranvik, professor of Reformation history and theology at Luther Seminary, “Coronavirus pandemic: God speaks to us in the challenges he sends,” was published by the Star Tribune on May 15. Tranvik writes that “times of crisis are also opportunities to reflect on what God might be saying.” He suggests three things that we may wish to reflect on in light of the pandemic: what is truly important, our need for each other, and the need to distinguish creation from the Creator.
