I am curious about other Fundamental Baptist churches in America in how they are handling the Covid restrictions. When it was first demanded that churches not meet during the early epidemic, I felt it was prudent that a suspension of services be enacted. Not by government edict, but by independent decisions made by church leadership for the safety of their congregation. As we learned that Covid was not as widespread as first reported and not nearly as fatal and the MSM would have us believe, I believed that the time had come to re-establish our services, but I continue to see so called men of God, bowing to the government and continuing to delay re-opening. Please don't tell me that the "church" is not a building or that meeting in our cars in the parking lot is "assembling together", we all know that it is not. But what baffles me is that the first amendment guarantees that the government has no say in the operation of the church, but that didn't keep our leaders from ceding their authority. I was not for the reckless just go ahead and meet anyway crowd, but there is plenty we have learned and, aside from certain risk groups, it was time to restart services over a month ago.
