Featured Who Else Has Their Church Practicing Social Distancing?

I went to one about 11-12 years ago that would stop the service right after the offering and announcements so the congregation could get coffee and cookies, then go back into the auditorium for the sermon.

 

Same thing with our church, now it's solely live streaming until the middle of April or maybe longer.

 

The pastor of one of our local Baptist Churches is in ICU with Corona. They were still meeting when he was diagnosed. The entire congregation and much of the community they were in contact with is quarantined. To say the public in general is outraged at them would be an understatement. Their continuing to meet in violation of public health directives most definitely did not help the spread of The Gospel.

 

(WVLA/CNN/Meredith) -- A Louisiana church hosted more than 1,800 people at its Sunday morning service, going against state and federal guidelines for social distancing to hold the service. Pastor Tony Spell says the Life Tabernacle Church in Central believes in the “healing hand of Jesus,” even through an aggressive global pandemic.

Throughout the service, parishioners were seen touching each other and closely gathering, with very few of them wearing masks or gloves. Twenty-six buses were used to pick people up from around the Baton Rouge area to take them to church.

Spell said if anyone in his congregation is infected with the virus, he will “heal them through God.”
