As we continue in the season of Advent and near Christmas, the Rt. Rev. Ruth Woodliff-Stanley has written a letter to the diocese providing an update to COVID-19 guidance for congregations. A copy of the letter can be viewed at this link.
The text of the letter is below: December 10, 2021 Dear faithful people of the Diocese of South Carolina, As we all continue to navigate this season of pandemic, I remain truly grateful for the many ways you have demonstrated care for others as we have remained cautious in the ways we have gathered and worshiped together. While the transmission levels now are much lower than they were this summer, we are still wise to continue to exercise caution, knowing that holiday travel and cold weather might cause a change in current trends. To this end, I have consulted with the Standing Committee and their COVID Task Force that meets regularly with medical professionals for guidance in this pandemic. I am sharing a list of guidelines that have been suggested as best practices through the end of the year, with the hope that these can be revisited at the start of the new year, after the holiday season.
For specific information about your county, please see this link. Keep in mind that the CDC initially recommended indoor gatherings only when the positive test rate fell below five percent. I remain grateful for your care for others, your prayers and your patience. Faithfully yours, The Right Reverend Ruth Woodliff-Stanley Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina Comments are closed.
