Virginia Pastor Who Defiantly Held Church Service Dies of Coronavirus

April 1, 2020 by Staff

(New York Post) He practiced what he preached — then he died of coronavirus.

An evangelical pastor died of COVID-19 just weeks after proudly showing off how packed his Virginia church was — and vowing to keep preaching “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”

His wife, Marcietia Glenn, is also sick with the virus, with church members offering their prayers.
