The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

Singing in church without masks - A Pastor’s Heart special with Sandy Grant and Tom Melbourne.

Tom Melbourne, Sandy Grant Season 3 Episode 61

The dominant topic in church staff room meetings in New South Wales today is, what to do this Sunday about singing?  

Should we sing without masks or not?

The NSW Government is saying, while singing is permitted, masks are recommended for the congregation, whether or not the congregation is inside or outside. 

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Antony Fisher has written to Catholics saying they can sing without masks. 

Sydney Anglican Archbishop Glenn Davies has been more circumspect. See his letter here: https://j.mp/3gsfHgb

But, Decisions are clearly left to local church leaders to work out how best to apply the guidelines. Different churches are expected to make different decisions. 

We workshop the issues with the senior minister of St Michael’s Cathedral Wollongong Sandy Grant and the pastor of Tom Melbourne from the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.
