Итог:The COVID-19 pandemic, like other pandemics, has brought to light what is beneath the surface of our society. The impact of COVID-19 on the social, economic, political, and religious dimensions of society is unprecedented. While it has adversely affected people’s wellbeing, especially their physical and mental health, there has also been a significant rise in child and teenage pregnancies and sexual and gender-based violence. This article looks at COVID-19 as a lens into the ecumenical house. I wish to explore the similarities between the death-dealing blow of COVID-19 and the virus of hegemonic abuse which continues to strangle humanity through different forms of neo-colonialism and ecclesiastic paternalism externally and within nations. I shall therefore liken the church’s missional trajectory to the new coronavirus by looking at strains of the hegemonic structures that have served to deny life in its fullness for all.
