Bishop Susan Bell has set the date from which parishes can begin a cautious re-opening of church buildings for in-person public worship services. The Church of Saint John the Evangelist will soon announce its plans in light of the bishop's permission.
“I am so very glad to be able to write – at long last – that we are beginning the process for re-opening our churches for public worship,” writes Bishop Bell in a pastoral letter to the people of the diocese. “Thanks be to God!”
