Release Date
4-26-2020
Description
In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, many state and local governments have banned “non-essential” gatherings of more than 10 people, including religious services. In this episode of Legal Spirits, Center Co-Directors Marc DeGirolami and Mark Movsesian discuss several recent cases, like one involving the On Fire Christian Church in Louisville Kentucky, in which (mostly Evangelical) churches have challenged these bans as violations of religious freedom. How likely are such challenges to succeed? And why are Evangelicals, as opposed to Catholics and Orthodox, the Christians challenging these bans? Listen in!
