Hartford churches rising to meet high levels of need during coronavirus pandemic even as giving dips

In the time of the coronavirus, churches across Hartford are learning to hold their congregations close over livestreams and ease growing levels of hunger, isolation and homelessness in their communities — and they’re doing it without the help of full collection plates on Sundays. Sixty-five percent of U.S. churches report giving is down since the pandemic began, according to an April survey from the National Association of Evangelicals, called the State of the Plate. About 1 in 10 respondents said giving was down at least 75%. Advertisement In Hartford, a number of congregations shared how they’re weathering loss of revenue even as need has increased dramatically due to the pandemic. As...

Allies despair as Trump abandons America's leadership role at a time of global crisis

(CNN)The United States has scaled back its role on the world stage, taken actions that are undermining efforts to battle the coronavirus pandemic and left the international community without a traditional global leader, according to experts, diplomats and analysts. The US -- usually at the head of the table helping to coordinate in global crises -- has declined to take a seat at virtual international meetings convened by the World Health Organization and the European Union to coordinate work on potentially lifesaving vaccines. Former world leaders warn that the Trump administration risks alienating allies by politicizing the deadly pandemic with its push to punish China and have other...

The United States is withdrawing its ships from the Persian Gulf

An American newspaper stressed in a report: Although the US government has intensified its rhetoric and economic pressure on Iran, it seems that in fact, the main focus on Iran in its national security strategy is shifting to Russia and China. According to Fars News Agency, the administration of US President Donald Trump has intensified its rhetoric about Iran’s alleged threat this year. On the other hand, military officials and experts believe that the US military has reduced its presence in the Persian Gulf region and has withdrawn its ships, military aircraft and missiles. No US aircraft carrier has been replaced in the region since Theodore Roosevelt sailed from the Persian Gulf to...

Stuck on cruise ships during the pandemic, these crews beg to go home

Miami: Carolina Vásquez lost track of days and nights, unable to see the sunlight while stuck for two weeks in a windowless cruise ship cabin as a fever took hold of her body. On the worst night of her encounter with COVID-19, the Chilean woman, a line cook on the Greg Mortimer ship, summoned the strength to take a cold shower fearing the worst: losing consciousness while isolated from others. Vásquez, 36, and tens of thousands of other crew members have been trapped for weeks aboard dozens of cruise ships around the world — long after governments and cruise lines negotiated their passengers’ disembarkation. Some have gotten ill and died; others have survived but...
