In relevant news, the leader of a Pentecostal megachurch in Tampa Bay, Rodney Howard-Browne, was arrested after holding large church services during the Coronavirus pandemic.
On March 30, the Hillsborough County Sheriff announced he had got an arrest warrant for the pastor’s arrest, and an hour later, Howard-Browne was booked in Hernando County Detention Center.
According to reports, Howard-Browne wrote off the threat of the Coronavirus. During a sermon two weeks ago, he told River at Tampa church members the church will remain open, and he also encouraged church members to shake hands.
In a clip from Right Wing Watch’s social media, Howard-Browne says the “church will never close.” He adds, “The only time the church is closed is when the rapture is taking place.”
