The end of the story told by @WSJopinion: Minnesota’s ‘Essential’ Churches - wsj.com/articles/minne…
“Gov. Walz has seen the light. Or at least the First Amendment.” #MNChurchesMatter @Mnnlcms @MNCatholicConf @BECKETlaw
“Gov. Walz could have had this deal and avoided the bad PR if he’d shown more good faith from the start. Meantime, we can welcome the accommodation as a sign that political and religious leaders can find ways that protect people from Covid-19 while also honoring the Constitution”
Grateful @GovTimWalz and his team "support and appreciate the importance faith is to the well-being of Minnesotans." #MNChurchesMatter @BECKETlaw @SidleyLaw @Mnnlcms @MNCatholicConf
And @GovTimWalz made a point to mention his conversations with @ArchbishopHebda and Rev. Dr. Woodford of @Mnnlcms to discuss the reopening guidelines and their shared concern for specific protocol to ensure health and safety come first.
He (@GovTimWalz) recognized the Imams across MN that have worked to keep people safe and wished a blessed #Eid to the community. He emphasized @ArchbishopHebda's concern over homelessness and his discussions with @VP Pence.
#BREAKING: Minnesota Catholics and Lutherans tell @GovTimWalz they are reopening churches on May 26—after the Governor announced malls, salons, tattoo parlors, & casinos can open, but churches can’t. go.aws/3e40Cit #MNChurchesMatter @MNCatholicConf @Mnnlcms @MNSDistrict 
The leadership of over 700 Catholic and Lutheran churches, represented by @BECKETlaw & @SidleyLaw, told @GovTimWalz and AG @keithellison that the First Amendment doesn’t let the government put churches at the back of the line during reopening. go.aws/2LQSmWV (2/8)
Minnesota’s re-opening plan lets people seek retail therapy at the mall, but not spiritual solace at church. Today’s press conference underscored @GovTimWalz’s failure to appreciate the integral role of faith in the well-being of the community. bit.ly/2XlVXSy (3/8)
