Misleading Headline Falsely Portrays Pastor MacArthur and His Church



The attorneys for Pastor John MacArthur and Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, released the following statement in response to current headlines about the church, which is currently locked in a religious rights battle with Los Angeles County and the state of California:
“Three very mild positive tests among more than 7000 people is hardly news. 0.0004 or 0.043% is not an ‘outbreak.’ The LA Times and others’ grossly misleading and fear-mongering headlines aim to mischaracterize Grace Community Church as irresponsible and a superspreader. It has never been the Church’s position that it is only safe to hold services if no one ever tests positive, or for example, if no one ever gets the flu during flu season. Our position has been that LA County shutting down churches indefinitely amid a virus with a 99.98% survival rate, especially when state-preferred businesses are open and protests are held without restriction, is unconstitutional and harmful to the free exercise of religion.“ == — Jenna Ellis, attorney for John MacArthur and Grace Community Church
Ms. Ellis is serving as Thomas More Society Special Counsel, and is representing the internationally renowned minister and his congregation against Los Angeles County and California, who are allegedly violating First Amendment rights. Read more about the legal struggle for religious freedom here:
