The pastor of a church in Calgary uploaded a video of his encounter with police and other officials from the city there to ensure that the church was following COVID-19 guidelines, and the interaction went viral.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski—the head of Calgary’s Street Church—was holding a service on Saturday at the Fortress (Cave) of Adullam until these officials entered the building.
Pawlowski—who filmed the encounter—addresses the officials in a stairwell outside the sanctuary.
"Get out of this property immediately," he says. "I don’t want to hear anything…out immediately."
Most of the officials don’t engage Pawlowski, but an unidentified woman seems to try and explain their presence. Pawlowski was not having it.
Pawlowski was praised by some social media users who have been critical of lockdowns and what they see as an affront on religious worship.
The Calgary Herald reported that Pawlowski has been fined multiple times over COVID-19 violations. The paper pointed out that churches there can hold services, but have to keep their attendances below 15% and follow guidelines like wearing masks.
Police said there was concern that some in attendance "were not adhering" to the government’s guidelines.
