Phipps said the church members prayed for the child, and continued with the planned concert, believing the child would survive his injury.

Instead of going straight to the hospital, church members prayed for the child, and continued with the planned concert. How insane is that?

That’s how I read it at first but I think it was just poorly written. I suspect the parents took the child to the hospital and the church went on with the program.

No. The kid was rushed off to hospital but the program continued.

that was my my first thought too - but further on it mentioned they were kept informed of his progress from the parents at the hospital.

Just bad writing...

From the way I read the story, it sounds as if the child was taken to the hospital, but they kept on with the concert at the church. I agree, it is not well written.

The child was rushed to the hospital immediately. Just poor writing that makes it look different.

It’s poorly written. The family did take him to the hospital ASAP. The rest of the congregation continued to pray etc.
