The pastor, Rev. Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, said he does not believe his congregation is at risk of getting COVID-19, the disease associated with the coronavirus, according to CBS affiliate [URL='https://www.nbc15.com/content/news/Baton-Rouge-pastor-defies-governor-welcomes-large-gathering-into-church--568915891.html']WAFB[/URL]. "It's not a concern," Spell told the outlet. "The virus, we believe, is politically motivated. We hold our religious rights dear and we are going to assemble no matter what someone says." Spell said 1,170 attended his service Sunday, according to WAFB. "We have 27 buses on Sundays picking up people in a five-parish area," he said. [/I][/INDENT] Greedy pastor, stupid congregation?
