From Michigan-
Flowers also urged Detroiters to follow social distancing and not congregate outside the home for church or other gatherings.
His
views are echoed by three Episcopal bishops in Michigan who wrote an
open letter last week titled: "We believe in Jesus, science and staying
home."
"As the Episcopal Bishops of the State of
Michigan and as a people of faith, we follow the commandment Jesus gave
us — to 'love our neighbors as ourselves,' " wrote the Rt. Rev. Bonnie
Perry, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan, the Rt. Rev. Whayne
Hougland, Bishop of the Episcopal Dioceses of Eastern & Western
Michigan, and the Rt. Rev. Rayford Ray, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese
of Northern Michigan. "Loving our neighbors these days in the midst of
the COVID-19 pandemic means setting limits: quarantining, refraining
from traveling, physical distancing when in public, and closing down
places of gathering where transmission is likely. This is how we love
our neighbors — by working to slow the spread of this extremely
contagious, life-threatening virus."
