Fabian Glauber, who sometimes worships at Hillsong Berlin, said, “rushing to open the church could be a huge mistake.”

He said

“Christianity is about life, not risking death for the sake of spirituality,”

Indeed, experts warn that singing is a “super-spreader.” Particle emission is correlated with the amplitude of vocalization—or loudness—so singing releases more particles than other types of speech or breathing. It even spreads the virus more than coughing.News reports say that 59 of 78 singers in Berlin’s Protestant cathedral got sick after a choir performance. 

Some Christians found the new restriction depressing "Worship with a mask is bad for breathing,” he said, “and without singing [it] is pointless anyway.”

Most churches are finding ways to follow and enforce the regulations. This is why, according to Hillsong’s Wilkinson, “in this season of restriction, it’s important for us all to learn how to adapt and think about the things we can still do together as a local church community.”

“Rather than focusing on what we can’t do, let’s talk about what we can do,” he said. “We can keep on praying. We can stay peaceful. We can stay encouraging each other. We can stay connected to each other and to God and his Word. We can keep trusting our heavenly Father. We can stay full of faith. We can stay generous. We can hold on to God’s promises.”
