Is it possible to sing in a face mask?

It’s a daft question I know, but I have a reason for asking…

Since the announcement that places of worship can open in July, there has been a plethora of questions, that actually cannot be answered until the guidelines are issued....

I wrote this back in 2013 as part of a longer series on prayer. I've reworked it a bit to to make it a stand alone piece. I hope you find it helpful:

Having filmed my first video for the wider public yesterday - I did another one!
This one was in response to parents needing something for children who are struggling to understand why they can't go to school, play in the park or go to see grandma. All they see is a na...
