Anglican churches begin to re-open after lockdown

Following the issuing of this Ministerial Decree by Pieter De Crem, our Minister of the Interior, Anglican churches in Belgium are authorised from today to organise public worship. This must follow the Anglican protocol approved by the Group of Experts for an Exit Strategy (the French and Dutch versions are here). Each of our parishes has submitted its own protocol to show how its worship will accord with the national protocol. Our prison chaplains may also resume work inside the prisons from today. Letters from the Central Committee to the parishes and to our prison chaplains are here. We rejoice that the sacrifices made by the Belgian people have led us to the point where the lockdown can begin to be lifted, and we re-commit ourselves to the nation in worship, community, service and learning.
