What the petition asks
I want the parliament reopening the church sooner than the 4th of July, as Church is a viral element of wellbeing in the United Kingdon
We are calling for the Government to prioritise the reintroduction of church meetings because churches have worked together to adhere to the government guidance to help reduce the spread of the pandemic prioritising the health of their congregation.
it is the culture of millions of people, church services must resume.
Although it has been necessary to interrupt this pattern for a time, we must recover our sense of how essential our every-week church services are.
