Bishop of London permits carol singing, outdoors and in
mainThe Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, has clarified that outdoor singing is permitted in all tiers across England from December 2.
In-church performance will also be permitted, subjct to the number of singers and the distance observed.
Full guidance here.
The Government has permitted this, not the Church of England.
Yes, it’s the government and Boris, not a Bishop!
Yes, let’s not bash the bishop!
At last a voice of reason among all the naysayers!
If you’re a professional singer attending church, you’ll find yourself in a congregation still not not allowed to sing and join in – only outside in the endless British rain and cold!
Wonder how many people will die because they just had to hear a Christmas carol.
What are you talking about?

The Bishop of London’s name is “Sarah?”
Er…and your name is “Patricia”?
Yes, the Bishop of London has a name.
yes it is. Dame Sarah
You can have a bunch of amateurs in a choir leading the singing with professionals in a congregation who have nothing to do with leading the singing but they’re not allowed to sing. I’ve been gagged for weeks! LOL! Should be the same for all places of worship not just the CofE, except they wouldn’t be singing many carols – a very British all join in tradition not belonging to just the Christians like myself! I won’t be singing outside and then catch a death of cold in this Tier 3 northern weather!
I thought priestesses were the worst thing to befall the Anglican church but female bishopettes? Egads. The horror of it all.
The opera Norma is a brilliant portrait of a high priestess. unforgettable
