Last week a judge ruled that the county could shut down the church, issuing a preliminary injunction prohibiting the church from holding indoor services until the case gets sorted out in the courts.
A final decision, at least at the California Superior Court level, is expected this week.
Grace Community Church has been on the front lines of the battle to preserve the First Amendment right to worship in the time of COVID-19.The congregation has been meeting in person since last month, despite orders from Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom that churches in some counties remain shuttered for indoor services.
A judge had previously ruled the church was allowed to hold services indoors if the congregants wore masks and stood six feet apart.

Officials haven’t just sought to shut down the church, they’ve fined the church for not having county-mandated social distancing signs in the right place and terminated the church’s lease on a parking lot they’ve held for decades. They’ve even threatened MacArthur with arrest. .
Los Angeles County, like so many other governmental bodies out there, has spent its resources actively fighting churches that want to meet. Meanwhile, as the Thomas More Society — who is representing Grace Community Church in the suit — pointed out, officials have given preferential treatment to Black Lives Matter protests.
Separation of Church and State people. When is this mess going to stop. That governor has a personal vendetta for shutting down churches because they just like the "peaceful protests" and BLM protests have found loopholes in the rules. You want to punish one you punish all. If not, stop it. A civil war is in the brewings if this pandemic mess doesn't go away soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to hold these obviously corrupt judge's accountable. They CONSTANTLY go against our CONSITUTION without being held accountable. WTF.
ReplyDeleteSo here it comes finally down to the real agenda. Destroy GODs people.
ReplyDeleteHere's another prime example of one of those luciferian leaders that gladly try to FORCE you to sell out and take the mark of the beast.
So next step should be massive revolt burning down judges house and courts?
No a peaceful protest kinda like a middle finger of defianance (Forgive me lord) just Hold the service let them come and arrest them all. Just tell them its not a service but a riot for jesus...
Eventualy this Court will be put in its place, in appeal it will never fly.
