President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he was willing to override state governors in order to give the legal right to churches across the nation to open again.
Trump read a statement in which he identified houses of worship as "essential places that provide essential services."
The president's move comes in the face of churches being penalized for gathering in their sanctuaries, despite following national guidelines for capacity, such as the Maryland church that The Inquisitr previously reported on.
Trump went on to point out that some states have allowed what many consider to be less important places to remain open, while restraining houses of worship.
"Some governors have deemed liquor stores & abortion clinics essential, but have left out churches... it's not right. So I am correcting this injustice & am calling houses of worship essential. I call upon governors to allow churches & places of worship to open right now."
"These are places that hold our people together and keep our country united."Many millions of Americans embrace worship as an essential part of life.
"The governor's need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now."
