Some California churches reopened their doors for services Sunday after the Supreme Court ruled last week that the state’s orders prohibiting indoor services during the pandemic appeared to violate the Constitution’s protection of the free exercise of religion. Other churches were still working out what the Supreme Court ruling meant for them. San Bernardino and Ventura counties both said they would follow state guidelines and permit indoor church services at limited capacity. L.A. County said that even though it allows indoor church services, it encourages houses of worship to continue to hold them outdoors or virtually. He does not expect the Supreme Court ruling to have any effect on the ongoing case.
