A Thousand Oaks city councilman has resigned his post, citing his decision to hold Communion at his church Sunday in defiance of stay-at-home orders in place to battle the coronavirus pandemic.
Rob McCoy, pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel, submitted his resignation in a letter Saturday night, saying he planned to violate orders that deem churches nonessential.
The website also advised those who were sick or high-risk to stay home, and asked congregants who had masks or gloves to wear them. “We’re seeking willful compliance,” Fryhoff said. “For us, the biggest concern is the number of people gathering in one place together.”
