Last Monday a group of religious leaders in Iowa gathered to, in the words of our opening hymn, “pray for health, to plead for friends.” They delivered a petition to the governor’s office asking her to require wearing a mask inside any public building when social distance was not possible. This followed earlier requests by physicians and the Iowa Medical Society for a similar regulation.

With nearly 900 people dead from Covid-19 in our state, Rev. Alex Thornburg, from Heartland Presbyterian Church in Clive, called on the governor to “Lead us in a shared goal of sacrifice for the common good.” He added: “And the easiest first step is to mandate wearing masks.”

This morning I want to speak in favor of the easy way.

I know that’s not what preachers are expected to do.
