en poll shows  churches  eager to meet  together again

An online poll of more than 150 evangelical churches for en has revealed that many resumed physical services in some form as soon as the government permitted.

However, nearly a third are sticking with online services until September, and 5% say that, for various reasons, they will not be restarting until October or later.

The survey showed 44% of evangelical churches restarted socially-distanced services in buildings or together outside in July, 22% in August, and 29% are intending to do so in September, though this all depends on whether there is a second wave of the coronavirus.
