FOR MANY of Reading s residents, the pandemic has not just stopped people from meeting up - it has caused a seismic shift to the way religious faith is expressed and felt by all members of the community. But it would be false to say it has impacted everyone equally - some communities have been able to make worship work, with the help of technology and using the limited time available to worship in unity. Some communities however, due to the nature of worship, the age of members or otherwise, have had limited successes. Changes to everyday life have seen a rise in interest in religious practice of all forms, and a desire for community among the general public.
