https://www.dailywire.com/news/church-members-fined-500-for-attending-drive-in-church-fight-back-with-lawsuitLast Wednesday, churchgoers in Greenville, Mississippi, attended a “drive-in” church service in the parking lot of the Temple Baptist Church, where they all remained in their cars with no chance of breaking the 6-foot policy or the limit on group gatherings. Despite the effort to faithfully adhere to the governor-ordered social distancing measures, the church’s service was “busted up” by eight police officers and the churchgoers slapped with $500 fines.
The reason: While Mississippi’s Gov. Tate Reeves (R) includes church services in his list of “essential” businesses or operations, Greenville’s Mayor Errick Simmons (D) decided that church services are not essential.
