HUNTSVILLE, Ala – Clergy with Faith in Action Alabama recently penned a letter of support to Governor Kay Ivey amid criticism that she should reopen the economy immediately.
“We want to applaud Gov. Ivey for reaffirming earlier this week her wise decision to keep in place a statewide “shelter-in-place” policy to fight the COVID-19 scourge,” read a portion of the letter.
Upwards of 10 churches from different religions from Huntsville down to Mobile signed the letter.
“We love church. We love God. But we are really concerned about the lives of our people,” said Reverend Jeremiah Chester of St. Mark Baptist Church.
The letter to Governor Ivey says the state needs to start testing more people and to make tests more obtainable for every citizen.
