<p>The Church of England’s seasonal campaign ‘Comfort and Joy’ will provide online,
booklet and social media resources for all parishes and worshippers to use and enjoy
this Advent and Christmas. More information is available here: <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/resources/preparing-advent-christmas-2020-comfort-and-joy"

</p><p>Following the Government announcement of a second lockdown, churches have been
required to close again for public worship, though I am hopeful this will lift at
the end of lockdown on 2nd December and that public worship can resume, with the necessary
social distancing rules in place, during Advent and Christmas. The Church of England
remains in dialogue with the Government about this as part of the Government’s Places
of Worship Task Force. I commend the work of clergy and volunteers across the country
during this very challenging time.</p>
