(ChurchLeaders) Amid extensive legal back-and-forth, Colorado-based Andrew Wommack Ministries International (AWMI) proceeded with its Charis Minister’s Conference this week—an event that was expected to draw hundreds of attendees to its Charis Bible College in Woodland Park.
As ChurchLeaders has reported, AWMI sought an emergency injunction to proceed with the conference as scheduled on October 5. With the help of Liberty Counsel, the ministry sued Colorado’s governor as well as state and local health departments, alleging religious discrimination. Meanwhile, public health officials sought a temporary restraining order against AWMI, attempting to halt this week’s in-person conference.
