Baltimore Church Opens Sunday, Defying City's COVID-19 Health Order
Greater Grace World Outreach Church was given a temporary closure notice March 14 for not enforcing mask and social distancing requirements.
BALTIMORE, MD — Greater Grace World Outreach was shut down earlier in the week for mask and social distancing violations. Despite not being allowed to reopen, the pastor held a service Wednesday and Sunday morning. During a recording, Pastor Thomas Schaller said the church has herd immunity.
“We have herd immunity, maybe,” Pastor Schaller falsely said Wednesday. “Many of us don’t care about it anymore. We are hugging and kissing. We are embracing and living.”
Baltimore City churches can congregate at 25% capacity right now. The limit will raise to 50 percent capacity later this month.
