California Christians gather for outdoor and indoor services in spite of coronavirus restrictions
Despite California Gov. Gavin Newsom's COVID-19 lockdown measures, thousands of Christians have been gathering in both indoor and outdoor services across the state, Fox News reports.
Around 5,000 people gathered on a beach in San Diego Sunday for an event organized by
worship leader Sean Feucht and his Hold the Line Christian political activism organization. Feucht has been traveling around California, putting on outdoor âLet Us Worshipâ protests after Newsom placed further COVID-19 restrictions on indoor church services earlier this month.
"It's just the most raw, organic, gritty gospel," Feucht told Fox News. "It's been very eclectic, very diverse in terms of people praying and singing. People got healed, saved, and delivered." Feucht baptized his own son at this event, too....

Maybe because there has never been a vaccine for a coronavirus? Lots of noise about it nowadays, though. Keep the sheep hoping. Or give them hydroxychloroquine, which is working where it is tried. Not profitable enough?
Reuters wrote: The World Health Organization has warned that, despite strong hopes for a vaccine, there might never be a "silver bullet" for COVID-19, and the road ahead back to normality would be long.
Key points:
â˘Top WHO officials have urged countries to 'do it all' to get on top of coronavirus
â˘They said hope remains in the international hunt for a vaccine

WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and WHO emergencies head Mike Ryan have strongly encouraged all nations to rigorously enforce health measures such as mask-wearing, social distancing, handwashing and testing....

A fairly conservative Christian, who I like to quote from occasionally.

Second, Tocqueville observed that Americans achieve the common good through voluntary associations. âIn every case,â he said, âas the head of any new undertaking, where in France you would find the government or in England some territorial magnate, in the United States you are sure to find an association.â
But infectious disease advances through association. It is best confronted by withdrawing from your neighbor. By not visiting the sick. By physically avoiding the frightened elderly. In this case, we seek the common good through disassociation, which is hardly the American way....

Yes, it does look like the govt approves one type of gathering--'mostly peaceful protests' their news media friends call them, despite injuries to police and violent actions that can be seen in various cities around the US, like POrtland, Oregon----but does not approve a gathering of Christians. These are not the 'Andy Griffith Show' days where all the 'respectable people' of the town would be in church on Sunday mornings, and Blue Laws prevented anyone from opening a restaurant to run competition to the 11am worship services. Liberals laugh at those towns, saying, I'll bet you can't find a copy of the Sunday NY Times in those towns! which would eliminate their chief Sunday Worship Service.
Governor Newsom may have bitten off a little more than he can chew in his pursuit of absolute monarchy. This happened in the 16th century when the King, Charles I, and then after the Puritan Revolution under General Cromwell had closed, his son some 30 odd years later, King Charles II, tried to control the church. Though there was persecution, eventually these attempts failed.
Christians will meet, even if they have to do it in forest glades, basements and such like, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
There will be no restrictions in heaven for the worship of Almighty God and the slain Lamb. It will also be pure worship coming from pure hearts with no distractions.
