    'Woke' Southern Baptist church realizes, asks: how would us meeting outdoors be any different than the Black Lives Matter rallies we've participated in?

    Prominent D.C. church sues city over covid-19 worship limits

    "The suit comes at a complicated time for Capitol Hill Baptist...[which] spent much of the year in intense internal conversation about racism, politics, the overwhelming White evangelical support for President Trump....There have been church book groups discussing White privilege"

    "Members of Capitol Hill Baptist took part in [an] anti-racism march this summer....the church wants to negotiate with large outdoor venues to hold services but can’t if the city won’t give it a waiver."

    Full complaint: Capitol Hill Baptist Church lawsuit

    "Capitol Hill Baptist Church, an 850-member church, says [the city is] limiting worship services while allowing large anti-racism protests. But members say they don’t want the lawsuit to be seen as criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement."

    I can only say that if this is true, then they had best just kiss the emperor's ring and acquiesce to his demands!! Obviously no guts in this crowd.
