Question for the church going crowd

Should they remain open?

Mine is and I think they are making the wrong choice and it kind of pisses me off.

When the entire community and basically the world is sacrificing and shutting down to save the health care system and the lives of many, some churches remain open.

Seems like a self-centered act. When the community on the whole needs them, there they are...open and in defiance.

They should close, as should all gatherings of more than a handful of people. I'm glad that mine has (LDS/Mormon).
 
Korean gov told churches to have service via online and stuff.

Guess what happened? Some people still went to church and about 50 people were infected from one church. ****ing ridiculous. Don't go guys.

I'm here in Italy on a mission for my church. We shut down three weeks ago and have been having virtual church using a program called Zoom. Works great.

Are you on a mission for the Moonies?

Just remember that even though your church is holding services doesn’t mean you have to go.

True. But when the community needs social distancing, are churches that remain open merely self serving.

Biblically I suppose this is true.

Matthew 28: 19-20 go and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

It says nothing about waiting for a measly quarantine to end to save a health care system.

There will always be those people who think attendance is mandatory.

Parishioners absolutely and is the issue at hand here when trying to limit the spread of the virus.

But leaders of the church could actually show... ya know some leadership, and do what's good for their neighbors and just close for a while. Instead they seem to be waiting for the Governor to shut them down.
 
I think it depends on a lot of factors. If it is a generally isolated community with no confirmed cases in the area (think eastern Wyoming), then why not. Also, if it is in an area where they continue to have school or other social functions what is the point of only cutting out church? Also, if it is a bunch of consenting adults then I don't really care. The kids are probably at greater risk driving to church than from getting the virus.
In my area (Upstate NY) there have been some churches holding special "hope" services to help people deal with the situation. I am fine with it because our hospitals aren't being overrun (only 1 confirmed case). That being said, I was glad my church canceled services because I don't want the old people I love dying.

Confirmed cases are not a good indicator of the amount of infected.
