A Nevada church declared victory after a federal court ruled against Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak’s coronavirus restrictions on houses of worship.
Per the Daily Wire:
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided that Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley, which is in Lyon County, Nevada, is allowed to hold in-person services at 25% capacity, which reversed a lower court ruling maintaining that they must abide by state mandates capping church gatherings at 50 people.
“The court has finally made it clear that the government has a duty to respect the First Amendment, and it can’t treat churches like second-class citizens,” said senior pastor Garry Leist in a video posted to Facebook.
“We’re so thankful to the Lord for what He’s done,” Leist added. “We’re singing praises to the Lord today.”
Leist assured his viewers that the church would abide by common sense safety standards, and that “we’re going to be able to take and come back into fellowship without fear, and that’s amazing, and that’s something that we’ve been praying for and asking God to grant throughout this entire process.”
The Ninth Circuit’s ruling is but the latest from judges receptive to the argument that attending religious services is essential.
