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.

I believe the ACLJ is suing over this
Call it a protest and it will be OK.
In home Bible studies are banned??????
I hate to ask how they plan to enforce such an edict.
But I would love to ask how such an order is even legal. How can you ban private activities in the privacy of someone’s home?
Newsom is wicked, a child of Satan, doing the bidding of his father, the devil.
Christians in CA need to stand up to this tyrant and ignore his rantings and ravings.
Per the Leninist example from 1921, is to confiscate the churches and turn them into warehouses or destroy them.
I looked. it wasn’t the Babylon Bee. This may be legit.
This happening while Trump is president. When will Barr’s DOJ start to fight these violations of the First Amendment? Where are the emergency federal lawsuits?
I’m hearing talk from Trump about the need to help DACA kids. Haven’t seen a tweet about churchgoers’ rights.
If I lived in his neighborhood I’d be tempted to hold a bible study and sing along in front of his house, with social distancing .
I challenge Newsome to a duel.
Let’s see them try to enforce this.
Surely there is a last straw somewhere in our collective conscience.
Where would be the outside location that would be most effective, disruptive, and remarkable, for having a Bible study? Let’s do it!
Beat me to it.
Time was when bishops weeks lay down their lives did their flock... No longer.
IF Biden should win, God forbid, and the senate flips, within 12 months, there’ll not be a single church or synagogue left open. They’ll all be outright banned/shut down permanently/burned to the ground. The communists are in full open warfare against God and anything pertaining to God.
People, it’s time to feed the pigs.
If you haven’t read Unintended Consequences, read it. Then you’ll know what I mean.
He has Commie Spies everywhere
Yeah. Conservatives are pretty much screwed, and middle America are not fairing much better. Maybe having the DEMs control all three branches of government will start CWII in earnest, but I suspect most Americans would rather clutch their guns in private than try to take back the country in a revolt.
There is no way this could survive an honest constitutional examination, but getting an honest review will take a miracle in a California court.
