Third church looks to Supreme Court for protection from state-ordered worship restrictions


court us justice system worthy christian news

(Worthy News) – A Chicago church on Tuesday announced its intentions to appeal to the Supreme Court, following an unfavorable ruling from an Illinois federal appeals court upholding Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s worship ban.

The church, Elim Romanian Pentecostal, has been embroiled in a legal war with Chicago and the state of Illinois since early May when it began opposing the 10-person limit on in-person services. Chicago police issued citations to members of the church after they persisted in defiance of Pritzker’s and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s orders.

Cristian Ionescu, the church’s pastor, told the Chicago Sun-Times at the time that the church was not engaged in “a rebellion for the sake of rebellion.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
