This is a great pictorial journey through the lockdown experience from a religious perspective (click on to the above link). Three months without congregational worship may have been hard for many but there have been some that I have talked to who have relished the isolation. For example, a friend of mine who is a practicing Pure Land Buddhist in Malvern said that it afforded her a great deal of time to really get down to some serious practice. However for some the need to worship in terms of community is palpable and even with Zoom and Teams there can be nothing that truly compares to communality.
