Spell claims he hasn't and wouldn't violate the law. Yet the law allows the Governor power to declare emergencies and impose the restrictions which are in place today.
This was a power play. The sanctuary and pulpit is a powerful place. It's the Oval Office for the church.
But please tell me why it was better to do it with 8+ people live streaming it instead of just accepting it in the lobby or office.
Costco, Sams, Home Depot all are enforcing limits on the number of customers allowed into the store at one time. Walmart, as of the last time I was there, was not. Gas stations rarely have more than 50 at one time, unless it's a truck stop. Most vet offices here are appt only.
I had my ENT Dr call and cancel a follow up. They've shut down their office indefinitely. INDEFINITELY, the nurse told me. No idea when they will open up again for appointments. My family eye Dr called my wife and cancelled her and the kid's eye appointments. No reschedule at this time. They will call her when the office reopens.
There are small shops and restaurants within walking distance of my job -- all are closed, some permanently out of business.
So this isn't just against churches. This isn't religious persecution.

The government imposes de facto martial law, a pastor refuses to abide by it, and it's the pastor doing some kind of unacceptable power play?
THIS is why the America *I* grew up in and learned about as a kid is long gone and ain't coming back.
There are literally practically no Americans left in the country, just a few here and there.
Those who would surrender their liberties in exchange for safety deserve neither liberty or safety.
