But now, there are concerns about several large church services being held on beaches. It started with a series of large gatherings. Then this weekend, there was another one at Cardiff State Beach in San Diego County.
attendance worshiping shoulder-to-shoulder without masks drew concern from a top public health official Monday. “In the photos that I saw, it really was a massive group of people gathering together without social distancing and without wearing facial coverings, so we will continue to address these egregious violations as we have others that have come to our attention,” Wooten said.
The city of Huntington Beach said in a statement that it “firmly supports the right of any religious group to worship,” but that they must follow permitting and safety protocols. “Unfortunately, the Saturate OC event promoters have not instituted safety protocols prescribed by the state and county, and they have refused to obtain a permit for their event,” the city said.thought they were being singled out because of their religion.
But Jesus’ blood will protect them, right? Ugh.
Actually we eBroadcast our services and I am now getting more church. Churches are leveraging the Internet more increasing their base - like God's netflix - except spiritual good instead of evil.
Freedom to practice religion is constitutionally protected. And there ins't a clause that negates freedom of religion because of the flu.
Here's some good news for Californians under the age of 18. Time to go to school.
So called blacks need too read the book of acts for a clear understanding of church
There's the LAT's for you. Have we seen the headline, 'Mass protests gatherings, looting, rioting and damage to property continue in the Los Angeles area, sparking fears of coronavirus outbreaks?' Didn't think so.
But protests don’t spark coronavirus fears? The hypocrisy is horrendous!
Why is it that churches still cannot congregate due to the fear of large groups and the spread of Corona but thousands and thousands could march together to protest police and that was perfectly ok.
But the heal officials thought 7M protestors gathering en mass shouting slogans for 3 weeks in June was okay . . . I'm sure that had nothing to do with the July spike of cases in CA . . .
And of course they’re singing...🤦🏻♀️
WearAMask
Yes im certain his is much more the reason than the protests with 10 times the people. Is there any integrity or actual courage left in the media?
LA Times = Communist Propoganda
They can't just build a church in MineCraft and meet there?...Just don't stick around for evening services and you'll be fine.
doing your part to 'spark fears,' i see.
I think it’s fine as long as they wear masks.
Oh shut up.
The media continually condemns religious gatherings, but not protests 🤔
Not true
It's just a protest held on Saturday's and or Sunday's.. why are you lying?
It’s just peaceful protests
Absolutely again a typical example of double standard media. Thousands protesting and rioting outside - ok. Thousands worshiping outside - not.
Another humiliation for human beings due to religion.
I guess they want to remain as 1 with CoronaVirus cases. 🤦🏾♀️
Oh look, it's another covid pachanga.
Does sand help? 🙄
Are they praying for COVID19 to get them all? COVIDIOTS
of course the CA government folks think protesting is A or ok?
No objections to protests?
If mass protests and demonstrations moved to the beach -instead of our inner cities, do you think you and the rest of the media would put forth the same concerns?
Selective outrage, much
The sad thing is that might actually be safe if they were wearing masks
But not protests? DOUBLETHINK
What he did again?
