As Trump watches amid coronavirus, SoCal megachurch pastor tells people to attend church online
Over Lent, this Beverly Hills priest battled coronavirus: ‘I didn’t know what plans Jesus had for me’
Janet Broderick is an Episcopal priest in Beverly Hills and the sister of actor Matthew Broderick. She is also, now, a coronavirus survivor. “I know a lot of you are worried,” Laurie said. “I know a lot of you are frightened. I know a lot of you have so many concerns weighing down on you. I know that you get up in the middle of the night with a lot of troubles, and I’m telling you that Jesus understands, and he cares, and he wants you to cast that care and give those burdens over to him.”
The Riverside church, like many, has been livestreaming services for years now, and Laurie said the response has been huge. Especially amid the pandemic, he said, people have been tuning in from around the world.“Some people say, ‘Why did you shut the doors of the church?’” he said Sunday. “The doors of the church are not shut. You see, we’re having church together right now, and hopefully very soon we’ll open the doors of our buildings again.
People should remember, he said, that they are “the temple of God,” where God’s spirit lives — not the church building.
