St James Church - reopening update

Revd Richard Hutchins, Vicar of Catherington and Clanfield has written an update on reopening St James Church, Clanfield.

“The re-opening of church buildings for private prayer is driven by a risk-assessment based process, and a key precaution is social distancing.

“Sadly, the current distance of 2 metres is incompatible with reopening St James Church Clanfield, given the relatively compact interior of the church: the church will therefore remain closed for the time being.

“This position will be kept under review and if or when the minimum social distance falls to 1.5 metres or below we will then examine again the practical measures needed to get the church open, in a limited fashion at least.”

Blessings

Richard
