Anglican worshippers returned to their churches in the island on Sunday for the first time since March 15.

As the first diocese to resume worship in the Church of England, The Rt Revd Peter Eagles Bishop of Sodor and Man said: ’We rejoice to be worshipping in church again, with the opportunity to hold before God the experience of the past few months, which includes sadness and lament as well as thanksgiving for God’s continuing work of grace in our lives.’
