Missouri Christian church wins settlement over Covid restrictions on worship (CNA)

A Missouri megachurch, Abundant Life, reached a $150,000 settlement with Jackson County, which for a time restricted church attendance to 10 people.

“If Abundant Life were to engage in retail sales, or served food and liquor as a bar, rather than religious worship at its Lee’s Summit location, Jackson County’s Phase I plan would allow 474 people in the building at a time while meeting or exceeding the CDC’s guidelines,” the church argued in its lawsuit.
