Colorado Attorney General issues cease-and-desist order to Woodland Park Bible conference

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has issued a cease-and desist order to Andrew Wommack Ministries of Woodland Park, northwest of Colorado Springs, saying the organization's Summer Family Bible Conference violated public health orders.

The July 2 order for the week-long conference that started June 29 comes as churches holding indoor services have become hot spots for outbreaks of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Despite the directive, the conference, a bible teaching and worship event, continued as scheduled through its completion at noon on July 3, ministry spokeswoman Eileen Quinn said.

The campus was closed to visitors Monday; but a summer school session for the Bible college is in operation until July 31 with 20 students, Quinn said.

Colorado has recorded nearly 35,000 Covid-19 cases, and 1,700 deaths.

Colorado Atty. Gen. Phil Weiser: Immediate compliance with the cease-and-desist order is required, and any continued noncompliance will result in a temporary restraining order.

Attendees stuffed into the auditorium. Staff had no control over the audience.

Not to mention starting the event with a combat scene/explosion, with dead bodies. Great celebration

Ironic, because they live off these Bible thumpers - but act in the most un-Christian way possible.

It's as if Christ, instead of reviving Lazarus, knew that the man had died of some plague - and insisted on having a mass sermon on the nearby Mount of Olives during said plague.

Then we wonder how a Bush or a Trump could come about.

Pass The Loot.

Incidentally, have you heard about Bolsonaro's coming up positive on his Covid test?

Talk about instant karma - though I do hope he recovers, and has a realization on this issue the way Boris Johnson did after his own bout with Covid. Brazil needs that.

And do please say a prayer for neighboring Argentina. The center-left president has really taken Covid seriously (his March 19 stay-home order was among the first, and toughest, in the world) - but still they're having a very hard time containing this, with 80,000 cases and counting (mostly in and around Buenos Aires).

Proof that sometimes even taking things seriously isn't enough.

preacher and the collection plate. (Have you seen her video on evangelicals? Is in the video forum. Love that woman&quot

I am torn about Brazil's covidiot. But hoping he does come to his senses.

Believe me, I am praying for the whole world. We are all in this mess together. I do appreciate the countries that are doing their best to deal with this plague. Scary that even some of the best efforts are still not enough.
