Exempt outdoor worship from any pandemic restrictions

Closed 37 signatures

What the petition asks

To allow the gathering of people of faith to fellowship (worship, pray, read scripture) together in any public outdoor space, regardless of any pandemic.
I truly believe that there is an issue with covid. For men and women of faith, standing together praying and seeking God in cities and towns throughout the UK can provide great comfort and relief through God, whether this is covid, broken bones, loss of sight, mental illness, etc. Our religious communities will keep on meeting together to fellowship but we are requesting you to not restrict our outdoor activity. Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on.
