The COVID-19 pandemic prompted rapid liturgical, pastoral, and community adaptations across the Episcopal Church.

Key responses documented include:

• Liturgical Adaptations: Shifting to online services and remote resources. The Diocese of Nebraska compiled alternative worship lists to maintain community during physical distancing.
• Praying the News: Diocesan leaders, such as Archdeacon Betsy Bennett, curated Book of Common Prayer intercessions to address specific pandemic challenges, including healthcare worker fatigue, economic fallout, and local/global sickness (news-3202230, news-3202357).
• Outreach Modification: Redesigning parish ministries to assist communities safely while maintaining social distancing guidelines.
