All Church public events and Churches Together events -cancelled.
Contact info@ctisad.org.uk with specific questions.
Even those church buildings that are normally open hae been closed.
All church buildings are to close for public worship and private prayer. There are no exceptions and no ambiguity.
but as Bishop Nick says,
the worship of the Church continues. It is being done differently. Through the prayers of clergy and laity, through prayer in homes and families and social media we still meet, pray, care and worship.
We offer prayers for all who are caused distress in the current situation: whether due to not being able to visit relatives in palliative care, or who are seeing their jobs and incomes vanish, or have extra work and responsiblilites

Guterres said - "I call on everyone - from government, civil society and business leaders to individual citizens - to heed these facts and take urgent action to halt the worst effects of climate change."
