(ChurchLeaders) Bethel Church has distanced itself from Sean Feucht’s July 22 outdoor worship gathering held at the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California. The event has drawn criticism from Shasta County Public Health officials, as well as from the City of Redding, even though Feucht claims city leaders gave their approval ahead of time.
“I want to clarify that I shared our plans with city council (something we have never done before),” said Feucht on Facebook. “They asked me to reach out to the local health department. We did that and we never received a response. I assumed that was sufficient and that we had the green light.”
