Canada: Authorities shut down church and erect fence around building for violating coronavirus restrictions
(Worthy News) – Officials in Alberta, Canada, shut down a church that broke coronavirus restrictions by erecting chain-link metal fencing around the building.
“This is what happens when you have freedom of religion in a free and democratic society: they jail your pastor for freely opening the doors of the church and serving Christ’s sheep and hurting people. Now they’ve chained the doors of GraceLife Church enclosing in chain link fence,” an Instagram post from Erin Coates, the wife of pastor James Coates, reads.
Police and health officials blocked off the roads surrounding GraceLife Church on Wednesday morning and erected the fencing. It is the first time that Canadian officials forcibly had to close a church during the pandemic. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
