Dafydd y Garreg Wen Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Important to note, however: “They [the Archbishops] also invited clergy to maintain the ancient pattern of daily prayer and, where possible, the eucharist” (With encouragement to “livestream” where feasible.)

Choir Man Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Fortunately my church building, which normally is unlocked in daylight hours, will remain open for private prayer (and organ practice). The rector will be livestreaming morning & evening prayer (said of course) from his study as there is no wifi or strong mobile signal in the church. All choir and other group activities have been suspended until Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
