A California megachurch has preliminarily agreed to assume leadership of Sacramento’s Capital Christian Center, which is suffering from the “destabilization of its financial foundation."
The Supreme Court has sided with churches over state COVID-19 restrictions in California, which blocked some of the restrictions that Gov. Gavin Newsom has imposed on houses of worship. California is considered to have some of the most draconian restrictions on churches.
Newsom s rules have treated churches worse than most other businesses in the state of California, according to a Breitbart News report.
Two churches filed lawsuits in federal court, saying that this unfavorable treatment violates the churches rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution s First Amendment to conduct their worship services consistent with their faith.
The suit added that at a minimum this entitles them to be subject only to restrictions that other establishments must abide by.
