Ship of Fools: St Peter's, Eaton Square, Belgravia, London
Stately yet familiar liturgy – but Pentecostal fire or tsunami?

However, St Peter's, Eaton Square, is one of the London churches I would like to visit, but, for various reasons, haven't managed so far! The pared-back liturgy referred to in the Report, and the fine singing, would certainly appeal, even in these straitened times.
About the gold mosaic behind the tabernacle, I don’t think it’s supposed to be a tsunami or Pentecostal fire, though I can see how it could look like either, especially from a distance. It looks to me like it’s supposed to be wings of cherubim or angels, recalling the Ark of the Covenant. The wings are shaped to surround the tabernacle with a heart.
No its law.
The government's page about the safe use of places of worship, which contains the relevant information about singing, tells us that it's guidance and not legislation. Where did you see otherwise?

Full marks!
I have no doubt that there are many other churches - not necessarily of a High Church tradition - doing the same. As is so often the case, it's not so much what you do, but how you do it.
