Over Lent, this Beverly Hills priest battled coronavirus: ‘I didn’t know what plans Jesus had for me’
Janet Broderick is an Episcopal priest in Beverly Hills and the sister of actor Matthew Broderick. She is also, now, a coronavirus survivor. “I know a lot of you are worried,” Laurie said. “I know a lot of you are frightened. I know a lot of you have so many concerns weighing down on you. I know that you get up in the middle of the night with a lot of troubles, and I’m telling you that Jesus understands, and he cares, and he wants you to cast that care and give those burdens over to him.”
The Riverside church, like many, has been livestreaming services for years now, and Laurie said the response has been huge. Especially amid the pandemic, he said, people have been tuning in from around the world.“Some people say, ‘Why did you shut the doors of the church?’” he said Sunday. “The doors of the church are not shut. You see, we’re having church together right now, and hopefully very soon we’ll open the doors of our buildings again.
People should remember, he said, that they are “the temple of God,” where God’s spirit lives — not the church building.
Unfortunately, we must allow God to correct the errors of our day, for there is not always good news from the voice of God. May the righteous not grow weary. Truth saves health and lives, but one who breathes out false belief can be deceiving. (applied from Prov. 14:25)
One of the early victims in Virginia USA was a pastor who decided he didn't need to heed medical advice & has paid the ultimate price... I've always thought self preservation a strongly held view but it almost seems like a desire to act as if a martyr Perhaps I'm deluded
God gave us Fauci /as close to an angel as ever there was . And. Blind Faith God will not protect them any more than Hydroxichloroquine will -
would you tackle Jesus

All religion is a sham! Every last religion where they expect you to donate, pay, tithe, whatever they want to call it are all a sham! In the words of Bono from the song:'Bullet the blue sky' :'The god I believe in isn't short of cash!'
We have 2 Covid19 positive employees at Amazon DLA8 in Hawthorne California. The driver was last seen March 18th. The other employee even went to work April 2 after being diagnosed with Covid19 on March 30. The facility wasn’t shut down nor sanitized. It’s business as usual. Help
Unbelievable 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks, Christians. Go ahead and kill yourselves if you want. The only problem is that you will clog hospitals.

Why phrase the Tweet like this? Almost deliberately making it seem as though the pastor in the photo you chose for the article is telling congregants to come to church. The entire article is about him telling people to stay home. Irresponsible journalism at its finest. 🤦♀️
The two possible solutions are simple: 1) lt them congregate and we can sit back and watch them die 2) send in some disgruntled Marines to open fire, going for the pastors first Then no more Christians! :) ProblemSolved
Human sacrifices have been a common link between 3rd world countries in Africa, in Asia, in Pacific and in Americas. As the richest 3rd world country in the world, the US feels it has a responsibility to participate and sacrifice some of its citizens to the gods.
Apparently El Segundo times does now know about the free exercise clause of the 1st amendment.
Yes! My church, Seventh Day Adventist heeded the call from the beginning, sent out emails to notify members and has been doing services online! That is faith and responsibility!!
It’s not about freedom of religion. It’s about the donations. Easter is the most lucrative holiday of the year. If they cared about their parishioners they’d tell them to stay home
Should the state have the power to shut down media outlets that spread misinformation and endanger lives? If not, then for the same reason government cannot shut down churches. The 1st Amendment, which affirms religious freedom & press freedom, places strict limits on government
The Pope managed to keep to the stay-at-home orders & celebrated Palm Sunday Mass digitally. If the Pope can do this............................
Thankfully Catholics believe in science! By March 3: stay home if sick, stop shaking hands at Mass, no communal cup. March 13 US began closing entire Archdiocese Churches, schools & colleges to halt spread of COVID19 CatholicTwitter
I rewrote this Tweet: Across the country, pastors have revolted against the Lockdowns that have no end in sight; pitting Claims of doomsday by healthcare and government officials against Concerns of violating Bill of Rights of The U.S. Constitution. CoronavirusUSA
Every Californian that goes outside this week will die or kill a relative is what they are trying to say nicely
STRONGLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE IN LA LOCK THEIR DOORS AND STAY IN FOR 10 DAYS - EAT THE FURNITURE IF YOU HAVE TO
Come to our service! Meet Jesus sooner!
Across the country, pastors are very revolting. They sin against the stay-at-home covenant, pitting all god's children concerns against claims of they're own personal religious freedom. Still, most of the faithful have been improvising, and taking services online.
Damn Constitution. Democrats are destroying it. Time to prosecute politicians.
Thank goodness my Church decided to be smart and do virtual instead
We must remember the leaders of churches have been deceived. These church leaders will put their congratulations in danger. This is not of God but of the evil darkness of Trump.
The ignorance in orange county is a special type of danger.
WELL TRUMP GAVE THEM THE OK...MORE BLOOD ON HIS HANDS
Good for them!
Half of the people responding to this tweet have failed to notice that this was mainly about a megachurch guy who is telling everybody to *stay home* and be nice to one another. Come on, folks, read the bleeping article!
If our tax dollars are going to treat those that become infected and those they infect, these clowns need to pay the f_ck up. Tired of these phony Christians—and their zeal for money above all else— getting a free ride.
Church's and their lies lies lies. Collecting millions in tax free money and give nothing back during peoples time of need.
They need to pay taxes
They should be jailed.
Fill that collection plate!!
Can we start making these mf’s pay taxes already!
At the risk of sounding cynical, this is the only way they can ensure they collect the tithes and donations.
False prophets, be dammed!
DROP YOUR PAYWALL!!!!!!
Just make sure you also donate via the PayPal link below 😭😭😭
online is not the answer. Like trump, these megachurch pasters only really interested in the money comming in!!
Eating popcorn, Big Macs and smiling as his cult of followers sacrifice themselves to the Covid19 death god.
Or just not at all. Here's a synopsis: 'Donate your last bottom dollar so I can buy a new Lear Jet, a mansion in Aspen, a mansion in Monaco and a mansion in Pebble Beach.
O,Religion, please tell me if you plan to free the human mind?
