Illinois Churches Lose Bid to Hold Large Religious Services – Bloomberg Law

Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church and Logos Baptist Ministries argued to the Seventh Circuit that religious services should be treated like grocery stores and soup kitchens. But in-person religious services are more like concerts and lectures, which the executive order also limits to gatherings of ten people or fewer, the court said. It affirmed the lower court’s decision.

The Governor attends protests but not equivalent sized church services, and does not allow equivalent sized church services, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Protests over religious freedom and the right to worship at church.

Were protests limited to 10 people?

Protestors have more rights than religious worshippers.

Caring and compassion, JB style.

They should have broken up the protests, all of them. But they didn’t and choose to break up churches instead. That’s religious persecution.
