“So grateful that I am alive, even if I’m not well.” Seminary dean reflects on what it’s like to have Long Covid

 

In Canada, over two million people struggle with the effects of Long Covid. Arnold Neufeldt-Fast is one of them. The dean of Tyndale Seminary in Toronto has had it since 2023. Symptoms include extreme fatigue, brain fog, memory and concentration issues and pain. Any exertion, mental or physical, can incapacitate him for hours or even days. 

I asked Neufeldt-Fast how he is dealing with the condition from a faith perspective. Has it changed his view of God? What about prayer? How has it impacted his view of suffering? Read his thoughts in my recent Free Press column.
