Faith leaders are stressing the need for a cautious approach to reopening churches after President Trump declared places of worship 'essential' during the pandemic, and said he'd override governors if they didn't allow in-person services.
Faith leaders are stressing the need for a cautious approach to reopening churches after President Donald Trump declared places of worship"essential" during the pandemic and said he'd override governors if they didn't allow in-person services.
