OTHER STIMULUS MATERIAL
From: Catholic Voices: Coronavirus, Church & You Survey
Report of Results: September 2020
“The UK Government set in place a lockdown in response to the Covid-19 virus outbreak on 23 March 2020. Church buildings in the UK were closed for worship, so during the lockdown clergy and lay people serving in various apostolates had quickly to find new ways of fulfilling their duties to care for their congregations and the wider community. This involved learning how to do things in the virtual, online world, as well as working out what things were essential and what things could be done safely without risk of spreading the virus…
…The survey, which is part of a wider survey of UK Christian responses to the present crisis, was undertaken by Professor Francis Davis (University of Birmingham and Oxford), Professor Andrew Village (York St John University) and Professor Leslie Francis (University of Warwick) who collaborated with Catholic Voices to publicise the survey and produce this report.”
