(ChurchLeaders) Ahead of its 2020 Ministers Conference, set to kick off October 5, Andrew Wommack Ministries International (AWMI) enlisted the help of Liberty Counsel to sue Colorado’s governor and health departments. The ministry argues the state’s 175-person limit on indoor religious gatherings is “arbitrarily imposed” and discriminatory, especially when large-scale protests have been permitted.
On September 29, U.S. District Judge Christine Arguello declined to grant AWMI an exemption, writing, “Numerous courts have considered, and persuasively rejected, nearly identical arguments.” Liberty then filed an appeal with the Tenth Circuit.
