More evolution in action...
He practiced what he preached — then he died of coronavirus.
An evangelical pastor died of COVID-19 just weeks after proudly showing
off how packed his Virginia church was — and vowing to keep preaching
“unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”
In his last known in-person service on March 22, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn
got his congregation at Richmond’s New Deliverance Evangelistic Church
to stand to prove how many were there despite warnings against
gatherings of more than 10 people.
“I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can
quote me on that,” he said, repeating it a second time to claps, saying
that “people are healed” in his church.
Happily announcing he was being “controversial” by being “in violation”
of safety protocols — with “way more than 10 people” at the church — he
vowed to keep his church open “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”
“I am essential,” he said of remaining open, adding, “I’m a preacher — I
talk to God!”
On Sunday, his church announced “with an exceedingly sorrowful and heavy
heart” that the pastor had died a week after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
His wife, Marcietia Glenn, is also sick with the bug, with church
members offering their prayers.

For the survival of this country, it is vitally important for all of us
to successfully associate the substantial harm wreaked by COVID-19 with
Trump and thereby defeat him in the fall election.
