This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Churches have been allowed to open since 4 July, so we're not sure what else you'd like the UK Parliament or Government to do.

You can find out more here:

Whether a place of worship opens is a decision for those managing the premises, not the UK Parliament or Government. You could start a new petition calling for specific changes to the Government guidance on safe reopening.
