Canadian Judge Orders Pastor To Preach Government’s Views on COVID

October 25, 2021 by Staff

(The Daily Citizen) Artur Pawlowski is a Polish immigrant who pastors Street Church and The Cave of Adullam in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He and his brother Dawid have been outspoken critics of the province’s COVID-19 restrictions on church meetings ordered by the Alberta Health Services (AHS) during the pandemic.

After receiving 29 tickets, three court orders, two injunctions and two court contempt trials over the course of the last year, Pawlowski recently had to face Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Adam Germain, who found him in contempt of court for continuing to hold a church service after being ordered to stop. Although avoiding jail, Pastor Pawlowski  was ordered to pay $23,000 in fines, undergo 18 months of probation, and serve 120 hours of community service.

Pawlowski, who famously chased Calgary police and health officials out of his church last year, calling them “Nazis” and “Gestapo” for attempting to shut down his church services, was also ordered by Justice Germain to give the government’s perspective whenever he publicly talks or communicates anything negative about AHS health orders and recommendations. CBC News headlined the court order this way: “Anti-mask activists ordered by Calgary judge to preach science, too.”
