“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

[3] Injunction and Court Order for Contempt and Sanctions Against San Jose Church and Pastors Reversed by Court of Appeal

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 19, 2022 /Christian Newswire/ — The County of Santa Clara and Health Officer Sarah Cody, through County Counsel James Williams, obtained a temporary restraining order and injunction in November 2020 against Calvary Chapel San Jose, Pastor Mike McClure, and Pastor Carson Atherly for violating the Covid-19 health orders that restricted church services, required masks and the submission to the county of a Covid-19 Social Distancing Protocol.

When the church continued to hold worship services, the County successfully asked the Santa Clara County Superior Court to hold the church and its pastors in contempt of court and for monetary sanctions to be ordered against the church and Pastor McClure on December 17, 2020.

But the church continued to defy the court issued injunction believing the injunction and the order for contempt were unconstitutional. On February 16, 2021, the superior court again held the church and Pastor McClure in contempt of court and issued monetary sanctions. This time, Pastor Carson Atherly was added to the order.

In sum, the church and its pastors were fined more than $200,000 in sanctions by the superior court at the request of the County.

Robert Tyler, President of Advocates for Faith & Freedom commented, “this is a significant victory for churches and pastors across this country. We are honored to represent pastors and churches who are willing to take the heat in defense of liberty because it benefits everyone.”
