3,000 California Churches Plan To Reopen In Defiance Of Gov. Newsom’s Orders

A network of 3,000 California churches are planning to defy Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shutdown orders by reopening for in-person services, Fox News reported Friday.

California Church United pastors, which represents nearly 2.5 million members, announced Thursday that they plan to reopen May 31 instead of waiting for stage 3 reopenings, which includes churches along with businesses like salons and gyms, according to Fox.

The leaders chose May 31 because it marks Pentecost and the birth of the Christian church, making it fitting for a “rebirth” of services.

“Our churches are part of the answer, not part of the problem,” said Danny Carroll, senior pastor at Water of Life Community Church said according to Fox.

“We’re an essential part of this whole journey and we’ve been bypassed … kicked to the curb and deemed nonessential.”

Matt Brown, another California pastor, took issue with the governor’s inclusion of churches as nonessential during the pandemic.

The quote was imaginary and pure hyperbole. But it is not real far from what the liberals ruling California actually think. It is only one step or so from what they say publicly to what I wrote.
