Serious question. Other than evangelicals, what other religious groups or churches are demanding

[Arkansas Granny]

to be reopened? I know that all would like to resume their regular services, but I only hear the evangelicals making a lot of noise about it.

4. He's a bishop in Kazakhstan

and also what is commonly known as a right-wing nut.

The majority of US Catholic bishops have closed the churches in their diocese, and even those who are thinking of re-opening them are looking at the science.

18. "Catholic churches 'should be allowed to reopen before others'"

Catholic churches should be allowed to reopen before Pentecostal churches, or mosques owing to their different styles of worship, the leader of the Catholic church in England and Wales has said.

Places of worship come under step three of the government’s recovery strategy, meaning they cannot open until 4 July at the earliest.

But Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the archbishop of Westminster, said Catholic churches should be allowed to open for private prayer by individuals before places of worship in which large numbers of people gather.

Speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme on Thursday, Nichols said: “The issues of how people are able to practice their faith are profound and sensitive, and we’d like a bit more sensitivity from the government.”

The Catholic church has been creative in moving mass and other services online since the lockdown. “But there is a big, big feeling in the religious communities of wanting to get back to a fuller practice of their faith as long as we can do it safely,” he said.

15. What kind of misinformation are you peddling?

This man is not an American bishop. The Catholic Church has closed most diocese and have been very cautious.

I hate when people pull this shit.

5. I think there were some Hassidic Jews in Brooklyn that were upset about restrictions.

Too lazy to Google, but that's what I recall.

That's all I know of.

Fundamentalist mentality strikes again, regardless of particular religion....

7. I think the First Church of What's Happenin' Now and Our Lady of

Perpetual Motion both have their knickers in a twist about the restrictions. Both are behind on their private jet payments.

9. God needs money

The preachers screaming loudest are the ones who want their collection plates full. I wonder how many church folks name the church in their wills.

10. I'm happy to say that no Lutherans or Episcopalians that I know about...

.... are forgetting that Christianity teaches us to love our neighbors. I.e., don't get them in a crowd and spray germs all over them.

[phylny]

11. The church I attend is ecumenical: Episcopalian, Lutheran, and Presbyterian.

We are not opening. Not yet, not for awhile.

The pastors are being very careful and understand that the Church is not a building.
