Covid-19

We have been offering advice and procedures from when churches were allowed to reopen from July 4, 2020 to the present time

Documents published by the Methodist Church, Government and other bodies are provided under tabs from this one, which will concentrate on our own explanations, pathways and templates.

The occurrence and stability of Covid-19 in buildings is described in the Risk Reduction file.
The 'Steps to take' file is designed to help you work through how you might open the church for worship and think about the risk assessment. Please do give comments to help us refine this.

Coronavirus guidance is available under the 2021 AUTUMN AND WINTER PLAN and guidance for Places of Worship.

We have provided some guidance on safe use of churches allowing from covid-19 variants of our YouTube Channel 'Stewarding precious Earth' as a VIDEO. This includes guidance on ventilation.

Other very helpful videos are from the University of Oxford (3 minutes),

and from the NHS:

We will adopt what we assess to be be best practice, 'erring' on the side of being careful to those in our communities.
