Keep Churches and Places of Worship Open
The motion
That the Parliament believes that churches and places of worship have made every effort to reduce the opportunity for the spread of COVID-19; understands that the procedures put in place are in the main working effectively; appreciates that being able to worship together is crucial for many people; acknowledges that this provides personal connection and gives people hope, which is vital for mental health and wellbeing, especially for people who are older or isolated, and believes that, as far as possible, churches and places of worship should be kept open during any further lockdown restrictions.
