Letter from the Bishop of Huron regarding
Anglican Churches Remaining Closed
June 8, 2020
Many of us are deeply missing the opportunity to gather as church to worship God. Premier Ford’s statement today that worship services may resume in many parts of our province has been greeted with both hope and anxiety by many Anglicans. Ten days ago, together with the provincial House of Bishops, I decided that we would not be making any changes in how we use our church buildings for worship until after Labour Day, September 7. Nothing has changed: church buildings may be used to offer online worship (no more than five people present to lead the service, following all current church guidelines) and to provide essential ministries such as food sustainability ministries or 12-step programs. No indoor gatherings for worship will be held in churches in the Diocese of Huron until after Labour Day at the earliest. This will provide us with the opportunity to plan well for September, and to get some summer rest.
Some parishes have been wondering about holding outside worship during this good weather. That is currently under consideration. I will have more to say about that in a week or two.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of all.
Yours in Christ,
+Todd

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.
