An alternative

Saint Philip’s current policy is that masks are optional at all worship services. This means that worshipers who attend services can gather side-by-side and choose not to wear a mask or wear one… if they are comfortable with others around them not wearing a mask.

Parish leaders recognize that people have different levels of comfort with this policy. To ensure that everyone in the community feels safe, the east transept has been designated as a space in the church that is “mask only.” This means that everyone in the east transept must wear a mask.

Ushers will be happy to assist those who would like to take advantage of this offering.
