Church turns chapel into taphouse to fight loneliness
Original: A church’s answer to the loneliness epidemic: Turning a chapel into a taphouse

The move, reported by The Washington Post, reflects a broader effort by religious communities to meet people where they are, using informal gathering places to rebuild social connection at a time when loneliness is increasingly treated as a public health concern.
Why now: Growing public concern about loneliness has drawn attention to unusual community-building solutions like this one.
