Abstract
This opinion piece focuses on the apparent controversy and discrepancy between state policies around worship services, along with President Trump’s decision to declare houses of worship as essential. The article explores the Christian response to this discrepancy. Despite the view of some Christians that the public health policies made by States are controversial, the article discusses the fact that many Christians agree with the social distancing orders and policies.
