CHOIRS SILENT IN UK
The Christian Post reports that along with the Royal School of Church Music, the Church of England is encouraging the UK government to be proactive to ensure making music can resume in churches once it is safe. The Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, said “We are encouraging the Government to be alert to the consequences of our choirs’ continued silence – and to take a proactive approach to allowing singing to return to our churches and cathedrals as soon as it is possible to do so safely. “This way we can safeguard our choral tradition which many believe to be the finest in the world.”
