Calif. court issues temporary restraining order against church for holding indoor services – The Christian Post
A California judge has granted a temporary restraining order against Godspeak Calvary Chapel and its Pastor Rob McCoy for holding in-person services in violation of COVID-19 health orders. …
McCoy announced in a video message Friday that he will continue to hold indoor services. “I wish it didn’t have to come to this, I really do, but we will be violating the judge’s order. … We will be open this Sunday.”
P&D comment: We offer this as an item of interest, not an endorsement of any positions taken by those involved in this story. Each autonomous church must make wise decisions in keeping with the Scriptures for their own situation.
Nevertheless, we do note that the current situation puts us all in uncharted territory when it comes to how to relate to government officials. We need a firm theological basis on which to take a stand. — Don Johnson
