Some Churches Will Open for Easter Sunday: "God Will Shield Us From All Harm And Sickness"
Most churches across the United States will remain closed on Sunday amid the coronavirus crisis. For many, it will be a markedly different Easter Sunday as they will worship via livestream. But some are defiant and ignoring calls from authorities to limit congregations to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
One church near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for example, expects more than 2,000 people to attend its services Sunday. "Satan and a virus will not stop us," Rev. Tony Spell, 42, pastor of the evangelical Life Tabernacle Church near Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He expects a crowd of more than 2,000 to gather at his megachurch on Sunday. "God will shield us from all harm and sickness," Spell told Reuters. "We are not afraid. We are called by God to stand against the Antichrist creeping into America's borders. We will spread the Gospel."
