A new order has been issued by naval command because of the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases, and it is designed to make the fleet resistant to infection.
However, it unjustly and severely impinges on religious freedom while permitting visits to the dry cleaner, bank and post office.
Violators can face court-martial just for exercising their religious liberty.
This is wrong.
Please SIGN this urgent petition, asking President Trump to use his authority as Commander-in-Chief to reverse this order, and make religious services "essential" for all Navy personnel.
LifeSiteNews' careful analysis of the new order reveals how indoor religious services have been deemed to be "non-essential," and lumped together with tattoo and body piercing parlors, night clubs and casinos, amongst other venues and activities.
The new order even permits the use of mass transit as "essential."
Certainly, religious services should also fit into the same "essential" category, where the same advice on social distancing and the use of face coverings could still be adhered to.
Sailors stand ready to give their lives for America; therefore, America must be willing to provide them the spiritual sustenance they need.
Please call on President Trump to rescind this order, and give "essential" status to indoor, off-base religious services, making them equal with the use of mass transit, and visiting the bank, post office and dry cleaner.
Yours sincerely,
John-Henry Westen and the entire LifeSite Team
