(ChurchLeaders) Drive-in worship is one way U.S. churches have creatively adapted to the ongoing pandemic and public-safety measures. But in the Canadian province of Manitoba, which currently has up to 40 percent COVID-19 test-positivity rates, even gathering in separate vehicles is banned.
Springs Church in Winnipeg, which has been fined $37,000 for conducting drive-in services, recently lost a court battle and moved back to online-only worship. Meanwhile, its pastor urges congregants to obey laws while asking politicians to allow innovative, safe worship solutions.
