Christian musician and activist Sean Feucht held a 2,500- individual Brand-new Year’s Eve performance and praise service in the parking area of the Greater Vision Church in Valencia, California.
Valencia, a community in Los Angeles County, lies in the state county with the highest total varieties of COVID-19 cases and deaths.
A video of the occasion published to Feucht’s Instagram account showed hundreds of predominantly maskless attendees loaded shoulder to shoulder and singing along during the concert. L.A. County requires spiritual services to utilize physical distancing and guarantee that masks are worn at all times.
” I decline to enable a virus with a 99%survival rate keep me from ransacking hell to populate heaven!!!” Feucht composed on a video post showing the occasion crowd.
Authorities from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s station said they were aware of and keeping an eye on the occasion. No related events or arrests were reported, according to The Los Angeles Times
As of January 1, 2021, Los Angeles County has reportedly over 771,000 verified COVID-19 cases and 10,345 related deaths.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti had actually called for Feucht and fellow organizers to cancel the occasion, stating, “There are constitutionally protected rights, both religious beliefs and demonstration, which clearly he has actually used and worked out, however just because we do have the right to do things, does not indicate it’s the best thing to do.”

” We do not want to see this [virus] spread, and the more spread out there is, the more hospitalizations, the more deaths, so if you care about human lives, and what God has given each of us, which is the power of life, please don’t do this,” Garcetti continued.
Feucht is the leading force behind “Let Us Praise,” a group that opposes church-related lockdown steps as an offense of spiritual liberty.
Videos of Feucht’s past “Let Us Worship” occasions posted on his individual YouTube account have actually shown audience members without face masks and not practicing social distancing steps.
Feucht has called his events “protests” to prevent local coronavirus requirements under the banner of complimentary speech. Republican Politician President Donald Trump has done the same thing in order to hold his big rallies without face masks or social distancing either, according to the Associated Press.
Newsweek called the Higher Vision Church for remark.
