A time to heal, a time to build
“We have shared the hope that although differences on church-state matters will inevitably persist (our nation, after all, has been arguing about some of these questions since the beginning of the republic), those differences can be narrowed, principled compromises can be forged, and the work of lifting up the least among us can be carried out and celebrated across our lines of division,” said Melissa Rogers, Wake Forest School of Divinity professor.

North Adams ‘perfect microcosm’ for new book ‘Historic Houses of Worship in Peril’
“Public space is hard to come by, especially one that won’t charge you much,” said Thomas Edward Frank, professor and associate dean for continuing studies at Wake Forest. Frank authored “Historic Houses of Worship in Peril: Conserving Their Place in American Life.” “There’s a diversity of things that a church can be used for, that will allow the congregation to continue meeting there — day care, Rotary Club, neighborhood associations. It’s also great if a building can continue under a new owner.”

“Governments have to ensure that the public health emergencies are not used as a pretext for rights infringements,” said Oluwatemilorun Adenipekun, doctoral student at the Wake Forest School of Law.

Cooper administration encourages 36 counties to enhance COVID-19 restrictions
“This letter does not add anything legally to what Localities can already do,” said John Dinan, a political science professor at Wake Forest and a national expert on state legislatures. “But, this letter seems intended as a way to signal that although the state is not tightening its policies, Localities remain free to do so, as a way of targeting geographical areas of concern without setting an even more stringent state policy.”

Applying to college? These virtual events offer information, save you money
Colleges hope students understand virtual fairs are important and can help them make a decision about what college they attend. “Sometimes this process can be filled with a lot of anxiety,” said Dawn Calhoun senior associate dean of admissions at Wake Forest. “So I think having somebody to talk to, to get support from, is really helpful.”

Marshall pushed to aid physician-owned hospitals. His wife profited from land under them
As Kansas scrambled to combat the pandemic in April, Rep. Roger Marshall signed a letter to top congressional leaders proposing 10 actions to fight COVID-19, including lifting a decade-old ban on new hospitals owned by physicians. Mark Hall, a professor of law and public health at Wake Forest, said it’s more difficult for a small community to sustain both a general hospital and a physician-owned facility compared to a city with a larger population. “It’s very hard for the established community hospital to survive.”

COVID-19—A review of community participation
“Community participation matters because residents can best identify solutions for their respective communities,” said Wake Forest law student Oluwatemilorun Adenipekun in an article written for “Think Global Health.” “They are well placed to work with others from their communities to devise collective responses. Unpopular measures risk low compliance.”

Lists are a source of joy: that’s why it’s time to make one
A Wake Forest study revealed that the power that comes with making lists is all about undermining your mental load. Writing down what you have planned at work but also at home helps you download some of that responsibility on paper (or on the app, if you use your smartphone to write down everything). It also gives you an idea of mental order that helps your brain to relax and proceed step by step, without getting caught up in performance anxiety.

Examining the father daughter relationship with Dr. Linda Nielsen
Linda Nielsen, Wake Forest professor of adolescent and educational psychology, appeared as a guest on the “Dads with Daughters” podcast to discuss what she has learned over years of teaching and researching father/daughter relationships. When it comes to money, mental health and men, said Nielson, her research shows that, “the quality of [a daughter’s] relationship with her father has more impact than the quality of her relationship with her mother.”

Without more pandemic aid, renters struggle to keep up
Many renters will do anything to avoid the eviction system, Emily Benfer, a law professor at Wake Forest said, so the moment they receive a notice, they leave. “That’s what starts the crowded living environments,” she said. “That’s what starts the increased contact with others and that inability to social distance.” In the 17 cities tracked by the Eviction Lab, property owners have filed for more than 60,000 evictions during the pandemic. When the CDC moratorium expires at the end of December, Benfer said, “we can expect that evictions will increase to unseen heights.”
