00:02:15

|
| Okay, let's go to a pastor in Santa Monica, California. | |
| You have a church in Santa Monica, California? | |
| Hello, Dennis. | |
| Yes. | |
| Can you hear me? | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| I just love you, love you a lot. | |
| And I'm calling because, just a back story, Santa Monica, Pilgrim was the only church who was on the lawsuit against taking the cross off the LACO. And I called you 15 years ago about that. | |
| I'm a good friend of Bob Dargatz, Religious on the Line. | |
| Oh, wow. | |
| Yes. | |
| So just saying, we're not going to close our doors after 106 years. | |
| Not going to happen. | |
| I'm going to bring my congregation in. | |
| for the parking lot and I'm gonna do my sermon from the upper steps and we'll continue because you have to have a pastor word and sacrament and confession and absolution and we'll do this. | |
| So you're gonna do so oh that's an interesting answer because let me to this issue so you will have your service in a parking lot? | |
| I'm going to do it. | |
| I told my president this morning, he said, I'll be in the front row. | |
| He usually sits in the back. | |
| We're Lutherans. | |
| We sit in the back. | |
| And he said, I'll be in the front row, and I'm going to do it in the parking lot. | |
| And every pastor, religious services, if you've got a parking lot, do it in the parking lot. | |
| So wait, wait, wait, let me just ask you, wait, wait, hold on. | |
| Pastor, hold on. | |
| When you say the parking lot, is everybody in their car or is everybody outside of their car? | |
| In their car. | |
| In their car. | |
| This is how Robert Shuler with Crystal Cathedral got started. | |
| They had the whole movie theater, drive-in movie theater set up. | |
| Well, it's a fascinating response. | |
| Painful to think of all the services being canceled. | |
| We'll be back. | |
