Catholics and Lutherans in Minnesota plan to buck their state’s governor and reopen churches May 26
Leaders of two of Minnesota’s largest faith groups are planning to resume indoor worship services next week in defiance of the governor’s order, saying it’s “extreme and prejudicial” to put religious gatherings in a reopening category similar to that of tattoo parlors or hair salons and subject them to limits stricter than those placed on retail stores.
“Our community members are suffering from financial and social and emotional strain,” Hebda said on the call, which was organized by Becket, a religious liberties law firm representing the two groups. “It’s our sacred duty to meet the spiritual needs of the suffering.”Some other Lutheran denominations in the state, including the largest, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, are remaining much more conservative on reopening.The vast majority of U.S.
Those restrictions place religious services in roughly the same category — okay to open, but with severe restrictions — as places such as hair salons and tattoo parlors, which are closed in phase one but in phase two are allowed to hold 25 percent of capacity with six feet of distance. Theaters, sporting events and movie theaters are closed completely in phases three and four. Retail can open at 50 percent capacity, and restaurants can begin seating in phase two with no more than 50 customers.
