Almost 1,000 church leaders have urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson not to impose controversial vaccine passports on churches in England.

In an open letter published a few days ago, the pastors and ministers say they are ‘are wholly opposed to this suggestion’ and say that to ‘deny people entry to hear this life-giving message and to receive this life-giving ministry would be a fundamental betrayal of Christ and the gospel.’

Lead signatories among the 934 letter writers are Dr Jamie Franklin, Curate, St George in the Meadows, Nottingham; The Revd David Johnston, Minister Emeritus, Presbyterian Church in Ireland; The Revd Dr William J. U. Philip, Minister, The Tron Church Glasgow and The Revd A. Paul Levy, Minister, Ealing International Presbyterian Church, London.
