Johannesburg - The South African Council of Churches has warned that churches need to be innovative, now more than ever, in how they conduct their services.
Responding to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement that the ban on religious gatherings had been lifted as from next week, SACC acting general-secretary Bishop Malusi Mpumlwana called on church leaders to tell their followers not to subject themselves to a risk of infection during services. He further said in his comments: “Elderly people stay at home I know that these are the ones who really love to go to church.”
“The SACC has a special delegated website for Covid-19, which is called churchinaction.org.za, and through that, we are trying to guide and advise,” he said.“The MJC continues to consult with medical professionals on the current developments, and how best to ensure the safety of our community.
