Bishop Townshend’s video message to the Diocese of Huron amidst the Covid-19 crisis.
Recorded at St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, Ontario April 19, 2020
The Right Reverend Todd Townshend, Bishop of Huron, in his third weekly video, recorded in his own backyard, says, "I'm delighted that so many of you are staying home and doing your part to break the chain of transmission. I'm also so proud and happy to see members of the church who are keeping essential services going in places where the most vulnerable - the hungry, those with addictions and others who are most vulnerable - can still get our help.".

URGENT: UPDATED INFORMATION RE COVID-19 AND WORSHIP
Effective March 15th 2020, there will be no public worship services held.
The Anglican bishops of the province of Ontario have collectively made the decision
temporarily suspend public worship services.
In the Diocese of Huron, all public worship services will be suspended, effective
immediately. In Huron, this pause from public worship will continue until public
health gives a directive that is will be ok to do so.
This measure is in place especially for the protection of those among us who are
most at risk and to support a mass movement of care and concern for our health
care system and the people who care for us in God’s work of healing.
This does not mean that the church will stop worshipping or serving in our
communities.
