The stated clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA), The Reverend Dr. J. Herbert Nelson, II, shared a message via video on Facebook:
“I ask that each and every one to be safe and smart during this period of time. I know Sunday is a Sabbath day and many of you are planning to attend church and many pastors are preparing a sermon of hope and possibilities. I know there are many of you who are seeking persons you have not seen since last week.”
Nelson is urging church members to allow themselves to be safe.
