(ChurchLeaders) Bethel worship leader Sean Feucht had to adapt his plans to hold a worship event at Seattle’s Gas Works Park on Labor Day when the city temporarily closed the park “due to anticipated crowding.” Feucht accused city leaders of targeting Christians while ignoring rioters. Meanwhile, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) arrested 22 protestors Monday “on suspicion of assault, arson, obstructing and failure to disperse.”
“We made it to Seattle, and unfortunately, the city decided to barricade the entire park for our peaceful worship and prayer gathering,” said Feucht in a post ahead of Monday’s event. “So we decided we’re going to move into the street, and we’re calling it a worship protest…It’s going to be epic!”
