NEW YORK - A Virginia bishop who defied warnings about the danger of religious gatherings during the pandemic and vowed to keep preaching"unless I'm in jail or the hospital" died over the weekend after contracting Covid-19, his church said.
"The first thing I asked God is, 'Why?'"Mr Nevers said."The bishop has touched our lives in so many ways." The church's members held vigil and some fasted for Bishop Glenn, whose death was widely mourned, including by Senator Tim Kaine, D-Va. Some church leaders have notably defied pleas from governors and public health officials to shutter houses of worship. In Florida, the pastor of a Pentecostal megachurch was arrested last month after holding services with hundreds of worshippers.
