Faith leaders stress caution on reopening churches as Trump pushes for in-person services

Faith leaders are stressing the need for a cautious approach to reopening churches after President Donald Trump declared places of worship"essential" during the pandemic and said he'd override governors if they didn't allow in-person services.

"Let me be very honest, I think the President's push was clearly political maneuvering. Most churches never considered ourselves to be closed. We are all simply out of our buildings," the Rev. Franklyn Richardson, chairman of the board of the Conference of National Black Churches, told CNN Sunday. "We are out of the buildings because our people are important."The thrust to reopen churches has become just the latest debate in the coronavirus culture wars.

Do you Have to go to a church to get to Heaven ? God doesn't know where you are ?

I think it’s unfair that you only show pictures of Trump golfing this weekend....where are the pictures of him at church, worshipping? After all, we can see how passionate he is about churches being open, insistent even. Print those pictures too!

No one is forcing you to leave your home to worship or praise God. You can do that without jeopardising your health by staying at home. Any pastor who tells you that you need to be in a church to praise God is clearly a false prophet.

Were there any church openings today ?

there is 0virus chill out.yacant get sick from a lie people.. wake up

Yes Home Depot target walmart are crazy busy only makes sense bro

cnn Opening places of worship should be done in a thoughtful & well planned manner. As a frontline clinician this is concerning. I understand the importance of being able to worship within sacred spaces & also want people to be safe. Take the time needed to keep everyone safe.

There are guidelines you fools...stop pushing BS.

Trump know nothing about religion

Yes, their choice. Not the government's. Wall of separation remember? Government should stay on its side of the wall.

CNN do you dread the day you stand before God for judgment?

Let them put their faith in God's hands

Imagine a real free Press An honest free Press A press here for the people, not the enemy

The satin church?

And this is all that needs to be said WWG1WGA OpenAmericaNOW Trump2020Landslide

Oh...NOW they want to be cautious.

Lowe’s isn’t this cautious

Announce the age of the deceased, the number of deceased in nursing homes, do n’t be manipulated by politics,

Those churches who refuse to open are the ones you should run from anyway!

THE MOSQUES ARE OPEN.

The thing is....you don't need to be in a church, or building, especially now, to pray and talk to God
