Dr. King’s daughter is speaking eloquently here, in words that echo her father’s message to the world. Trump opening up churches & calling houses of worship “essential” has nothing to do with deference to God and everything to do with deference to his base.
The Church is not a building. The Church is a people. People are essential.

Marianne respectfully yes the church is the people that's why it's important to get in-person services going again. The community is strangled trying to do it online. The connection is lost. Same thing with AA meetings. It can be done safely with masks and social distancing.

The most compassionate response, at a moment such as this, is to place the love and safety for people above all else. God is not just anywhere...He is everywhere.

So @realDonaldTrump is saying that people can only worship in large groups in churches, synagogues and mosques...tell that to the pioneers who settled this country and weren’t near any houses of worship. Tell that to Laura Ingalls Wilder. Faith is in you, not a building.
