"The office of Attorney General William Barr said action will be taken against officials who single out religious organizations to enforce social distancing rules in place to reduce the spread of the new coronavirus. "
I am glad to see they are protecting our Churches as many times Christians are persecuted for our beliefs, if we had more of Jesus's teachings we would have less problems as a society. However i don't consider myself religious, but spiritual... if you look up the meaning of religion, it means you cant think for yourself. And i don't need anyone between me and the Creator.
“During this sacred week for many Americans, AG Barr is monitoring govt regulation of religious services,” Barr spokeswoman Kerry Kupec wrote on Twitter Saturday night ahead of Easter. “While social distancing policies are appropriate during this emergency, they must be applied evenhandedly & not single out religious orgs. Expect action from DOJ next week!”
In Kentucky, Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville prohibited churches from having drive-in services, which has been challenged by the religious liberty law firm First Liberty Institute on behalf of On Fire Christian Church in that city.
In North Carolina, the Wilmington Police Department acknowledged that drive-in services are not a violation of social distancing rules, but continued to “encourage” online services, citing local health officials’ concerns that “drive-in” services could be “unnecessarily risky.”
In Mississippi, Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons has also said drive-in services are prohibited.
In Hillsborough County, Florida, pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was arrested late last month for violating the state’s order banning large worship gatherings.
So as you can see, it varies from state to state and county as well... Problems in Kentucky and Mississippi has made these statements necessary. We need constitutional sheriffs, as people get drunk with extra power they shouldn't have.
