Regading the news reports that two churches in Chilliwack are not respecting the [orders] of the BC Chief Medical Health Officer, I am quite dismayed that these church assemblies did not follow this advice. Members of these churches are also members of the community and we all have to be in this together- not just the rest of us. I recognize and agree with the fact that there are religious rights but there are also our responsibilities to each other.

I say that we need to put our trust and faith in good science and the best efforts of our public health officials to bring this pandemic to a halt.
