Worcester Pastor Holds Service, But Stays Within Coronavirus Ban
The Rev. Kris Casey hosted nine people for a service on Wednesday night. The state ban only applies to gatherings of 10 or more people.
WORCESTER, MA — A Worcester pastor is now preaching safety, after he held a weekend service with more than 50 people in attendance. The pastor has reversed course and decided to follow Gov. Charlie Baker’s order to limit gatherings to 10 people.
City leaders have clearly tried to avoid publicly locking horns with the pastor at the Adams Square Baptist Church, but they warned and pleaded with him not to repeat what happened here on Sunday, and for the time being, that appears to have been enough.
