Christian artist and activist Sean Feucht held a 2,500- person New Year’s Eve show and worship service in the parking area of the Greater Vision Church in Valencia, California.
Valencia, an area in Los Angeles County, is located in the state county with the greatest overall numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths.
A video of the event published to Feucht’s Instagram account revealed numerous mainly maskless participants loaded shoulder to shoulder and singing along throughout the show. L.A. County needs spiritual services to utilize physical distancing and ensure that masks are worn at all times.
” I decline to allow an infection with a 99%survival rate keep me from plundering hell to occupy paradise!!!” Feucht wrote on a video post revealing the occasion crowd.
Authorities from the Santa Clarita Valley Constable’s station stated they were aware of and keeping track of the occasion. No associated incidents or arrests were reported, according to The Los Angeles Times
Since January 1, 2021, Los Angeles County has reportedly over 771,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 10,345 related deaths.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti had actually required Feucht and fellow organizers to cancel the event, specifying, “There are constitutionally protected rights, both religion and demonstration, which clearly he has utilized and exercised, however just because we do deserve to do things, does not mean it’s the right thing to do.”
” We do not wish to see this [virus] spread, and the more spread there is, the more hospitalizations, the more deaths, so if you appreciate human lives, and what God has actually offered each of us, which is the power of life, please don’t do this,” Garcetti continued. “I would encourage him firstly to come back, have an excellent show after this pandemic is done.
Feucht is the leading force behind “Let Us Worship,” a group that opposes church-related lockdown measures as an infraction of religious liberty. He has held comparable occasions in California, Maine, Oregon, Colorado, Florida and Nashville, Tennessee, the last of which was held without his first acquiring a license for the occasion.
