Open churches and restore regulated physical worship during Easter
Open churches and restore regulated physical worship during Easter
In Kenya, the president announced the closure of churches during a period that is very important to Christians.
The president banned all physical worship despite chaotic industries like the buses, open markets, supermarkets being left operational.
This will mean that Christians will not be able to attend services during the holy week and the very important Easter Triduum. They will thus not partake holy communion in such a crucial season in the church calendar.
It goes against the right to religious freedom of so many Christians who have been following guidelines to attend physical worship.
With this petition, we demand that the President of Kenya re-instates regulated physical worship, especially during Easter.

Petition to: President Uhuru Kenyatta
Dear Excellency, President Uhuru Kenyatta,
I am very saddened by the closure of churches especially during this very holy season of Easter.
We understand that the Covid 19 situation is not the best at the moment but it does not make sense for me to be crowded in a "matatu", a supermarket, Gikomba, Machakos bus termini and other places while I can not have a 30 minutes worship that follows the provided guidelines by the Ministry of Health.
Since the churches were restored a couple of months ago, the bishops and pastors have endeavoured to follow the provided guidelines as they minister the word of God.
In such a season as Easter, it is paramount that at least one attends physical worship once a week.
Kindly reconsider this directive as soon as possible.
