How and should Christian pastors exercise leadership in the debate over vaccination? 

What role should the church leader play in speaking to members about vaccination when there’s a range of different perspectives? 

What difference will selfish individualism vs an ethic of other person centredness/ community responsibility make to the vaccination rollout? 

What’s the impact of the society’s loss of confidence in government, science and journalism on the current debate?

Plus, How should we feel about suggestions to make vaccination passports for church attendance mandatory (whether imposed by government or denominational or local leadership)?

John McClean is Vice Principal and Ethics Lecturer at Sydney’s Presbyterian Christ College. 

Phillip Jensen is former Anglican Dean of Sydney and now leads Two Ways Ministries. 

Ray Galea pastors the influential MBM church in the heart of the COVID hotspot area in Western Sydney.
