There’s good news and bizarre news for Christians who live in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The government will allow you to return to your church house on May 1st, but there are a number of rules, regulations and hoops you will have to jump through to make that happen.
City and county leaders released a lengthy list of guidelines for church members and pastors. Click here to read the full list.
I was particularly curious about an edict from government leaders banning what we in the Baptist faith tradition call The Lord’s Supper.
“The physical taking of communion/sacrament should not be performed due to the serial breaking of physical distancing across a congregation,” the document states.
Instead, the health department recommended that the Baptists, Methodists and Catholics “consider guiding parishioners in how to connect with the spiritual aspects of these practices during this phase.”
What in the name of Billy Graham are they talking about?

Mrs Don-o, there is a call for you on the Courtesey Phone.
No. Just No.
Is the government trying to establish it's own brand of religious behavior?
Whatever happened to the separation of church and state?
The government is overstepping its bounds and have no authority to make directives like this.
Just ignore the Romans.
What're they gonna do if NOBODY listens to 'em.
Time to go Gandhi on these bitches.
Gee....where’s all that “separation of church & state”????
Is the government now forming its own religion now?
Tell em to go piss up a rope....backwards.
You can’t ban communion without banning all other food delivery and pizza places in those towns.
This is tyranny and must be overthrown.
It is illegal.
It is unconstitutional.
It is blatantly unamerican.
This is totalitarian hate and must be blatantly ignored
When will they be arrested and charged for violating the First Amendment?
They have no authority to make any of the directives they have in the last 6 weeks
sure they do, emergency powers.
The upside of this conversation, is at least authorities are trying to find ways to make a Church Service possible at all.
Since Easter, many Governors would ‘just say no’ to all attempts for group worship. Even Drive-In services were being shut down.
Perhaps in a few more weeks, more conditions will be modified, then removed.
Besides, people were starting to notice that few if any Mosques had been closed down by the cops. Thats unfair, even during Ramadan.
Time to call the bagpipes.
fearpers think freedom of religion isn’t important so they choose that you and me and the rest of us can’t practice it....
They have no right to trample the constitution.
“Bill of Rights”, unless the governor says otherwise. Nah, I think we need to take back our country.
they cannot suspend the constitution
