In Washington state
now's not the time to be part
of a megachurch
Arts events are going to take a beating from this ban, too. Any concerts you were planning to attend, for instance.
Seattle Public Library has announced all its locations will close until at least April 13 effective 6pm tomorrow night.
Had he managed to stay in the Seattle area and still be lead preaching and teaching pastor ... someone would have had to deal with the reality of all religious groups of 250+ being banned.
Now is probably the best time in recent history in Washington state to not be part of a megachurch ... which is not to suggest there's necessarily been an ideal time to be part of one.
There are some folks online, no doubt, who will argue that Inslee doesn't have the legal right or power to ban church services from gathering together. That's certainly something that can be discussed and debated but I can think of at least some Presbyterians who have concluded that intinction is not going to be the way eucharist is given for the foreseeable future.
Also ... some recent reading on teaching and doctrine related to passive obedience.

If there's a teaching that United States citizens seem set on never, ever finding in the Bible that might well be one of the teachings.
