CHURCH leaders in Dumbarton and the Vale have admitted they’re disappointed at being forced to close their doors due to the pandemic – but have acknowledged that it’s a necessary move. The Scottish Government’s announcement last week of stricter limits to control the spread of Covid-19 cases included the closing of all the country’s churches for Congregational worship and prayer until further notice. Some of the country’s religious leaders voiced their anger at the decision, questioning whether an end to socially-distant worship, in compliance with all the rules, would play a significant role in reducing the number of coronavirus cases.
