California Governor Newsom Bans ALL In-Home Bible Fellowship, Church Services, Meetings, Singing, and Church Gatherings
browns journal ^ | 7/16/2020 | Brown

Posted on 07/18/2020 1:09:48 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

As of July 13th, 2020 ALL indoor Church services have been banned in at least 30 counties, even in-home Bible studies, and fellowship. In other counties, fellowship may be limited to 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is less. Also, singing, chanting, praise, and worship have been banned. However, the exact same order also allows protests.

Under Governor Newsom’s latest directive, residents of California can engage in protests and riots, but cannot house a Bible Study with a friend or neighbor.

Liberty Counsel will be filing suit against Gov. Newsom on behalf of Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, who is president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC). The NHCLC represents 42,000 churches nationwide. Sam is also the senior pastor of churches in Sacramento and Los Angeles. The suit will also include many other churches in California.

On July 13th, 2020 California Governor rolled back the phased reopening as the number of Coronavirus cases rose; Most counties, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside, will be forced to shutter gyms, houses of worship, hair salons, malls and other businesses under the new order, which is effective immediately and remains in effect indefinitely. Also, offices with nonessential workers in those counties must close.

Also, protests are specifically called out as not allowed.

Of course, we’ll see if that is enforced.

Exactly.

I have a few doubts, based on overwhelming daily evidence LOL

It’s not about the virus.

It’s about control.

It’s about eradicating Christianity.

Yeah, a bit of a stretch for “clicks/ad $”. The way I read it a home bible study (with non-immediate family members present) would be fine wih “distancing” & masks.

The “mask edict” from the King & Queen of CA ;-) is here:

“Indoor” protests are called out in the document...outdoor protests with 6 foot spacing and/or masks are apparently OK.

Now that home Bible studies are banned, more people may be inspired to study God’s Word.

If only to protest.

That document says that the places of worship are to close.

This is worse than the original post.

Yeah, CA indoor church services were shut down for months, then re-opened a few weeks ago, then shut down again on 7-13. This time around several pastors/churches near FR HQ are thumbing their nose:

...people in California should just hold their bible study groups as they damn well please.

Clog the system with thousands of Christians; waiting their day in court.


Ayn Rand was right.

Well now! It appears that only INDOOR 'places of worship' activity is being referred to in this document.
