[Sorry, was being very flippant there.]

It was a bit... let's call it 'strange' that they were stopping people singing in church and yet pubs were opening up...

To get into Wembley you had to have proof of a negative lateral flow test in the previous 48 hrs.
There was no such requirement when attending church before restrictions were lifted. The precautions were to limit numbers, have socially distanced seating, wear face masks, and to have no singing.

True ER. The church stuff makes a lot of sense. Especially as there are probably a disproportionate share of high risk groups in the mix too

Psalm 96 came to mind.

You are correct about the high risk groups, especially the elderly NDW.
Our church, like many others, started online services which is fine for the majority of people to access. Many elderly people though are not so au fait with “tech” and so had no access to services unless they could attend in person. I think that our church had a limit of thirty (pre-booked) seats available during restrictions.

Another similar quote:

'...As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. ...' (KJV)
