Text of Petition:
For Christians and those
of other faiths, communal worship is an essential element of their religious
life, and not simply an optional extra.
Additional Information
The current Covid-19
pandemic evidently requires extraordinary restrictions so as to protect the
physical health of individuals and of society as a whole. However, the
spiritual, emotional and mental health of religious people is also extremely
important, with wide repercussions for society. As consideration is currently
being given to how soon places of exercise, entertainment, etc. can be
reopened, urgent consideration also needs to be given to the imminent reopening
of buildings for communal religious worship, to enable this vital aspect of
life to recommence for people of religious faith.
