A US Pastor, Gerald Glenn, who defied warnings about the danger of religious gatherings during the Coronavirus pandemic and vowed to keep preaching “unless I’m in jail or the hospital” has died of the dreaded virus weeks after contracting the disease.
The Bishop Glenn of Richmond, New Deliverance Evangelistic Church held packed church services, despite a state order limiting public gatherings to no more than ten people.
Unfortunately, Glenn, 66, died on Saturday night, according to Bryan Nevers, a church elder.
Reacting, Mr Nevers said, "The first thing I asked God is, ‘Why?’ ” Mr. Nevers said. “The bishop has touched our lives in so many ways.”
Mother Marcietia Glenn, 65, the bishop’s wife, also tested positive for the virus, Mar-Gerie Crawley, their daughter, said in an April 4 post on the church’s Facebook page. Ms. Crawley said at the time that her father was on a ventilator at the hospital.
“It becomes very real to you,” Ms. Crawley said on Facebook. “I just beg people to understand the severity and the seriousness of this, because people are saying it’s not just about us, it’s about everyone around us.”
