[전국]Pastors gathered at the’quarantine violation’ church “Repeal the ban on face-to-face worship!”

[앵커]

According to the guidelines for distancing, some churches have conducted face-to-face worship, causing friction with local governments. Some church pastors and believers gathered at the church and held a meeting, saying they supported face-to-face worship.

I am concerned about conflicts with the quarantine authorities.

This is a church in Busan that held a face-to-face service last Sunday.

Although I sat down, many members of the church gathered.

It is a head-on violation of the 2.5-step quarantine rules to keep more than 20 people away, and it has been prosecuted several times.

Then, 17 metropolitan metropolitan cities across the country gathered to this church, saying they supported face-to-face worship by pastors and believers from the Christian Federation.

“I support normal worship. I support it.”

Those gathered argued that limiting the number of worshipers to 20 people of all sizes was problematic.

In addition, the position that the prohibition of face-to-face worship is an act of trampling the constitution that guarantees religious freedom, and that administrative litigation is also being conducted.

In this situation, some churches have expressed their intention to participate in face-to-face worship in the future, and there is growing concern that the local government will take prosecution and conflict will follow.
