Keep COVID Restrictions in Place

Says the Ecumenical Consultation on Protocols for Worship, Fellowship, and Sacraments. In a new report:

The group suggests limiting touching except where Christian rituals, such as laying on of hands for confirmation, require it; avoiding congregational singing and playing wind instruments indoors; wearing masks when preaching indoors — or outdoors closer than 16 feet from listeners. Singing, which has been shown to spread the virus especially effectively, should be limited to soloists or ensembles kept well distanced.

Oh, and “indoor worship services should be 30 to 45 minutes.” The report concludes: “Congregations can help bring an end to restrictions by encouraging all their members who meet the requirements to be vaccinated as soon as possible.” This new report is the Bible for CDC churches.
