Episode 25: Coronageddon

Your Own Personal Jesus

This week we face the terrors of Covid 19, but together, bravely in an entry of Your Own Personal Jesus

Lemuel: Bishop Gerald Glenn of the New Deliverance Evangelistic Church in Chesterfield, Virginia passed away last week at the age of 66. He had tested positive for Covid 19 a month earlier, but insisted on continuing to hold services, and encouraged others to attend. Bishop Glenn, in one a post infection sermon, expressed indifference to dying from the virus. He also encouraged people to continue to congregate in defiance of the illness.

The unfortunate Bishop Glenn’s response is the beginning of our conversation about some church response to the current pandemic.
