SAN JOSE, Calif. Three days after telling places of worship to keep their doors closed and pews empty until further notice regardless of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling saying they could reopen, the state’s only holdout Santa Clara County has relented under special order.
In a statement issued at about 9 p.m. Pacific time on Monday, Santa Clara County announced that because of a temporary order from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued that evening, indoor worship services could resume after all, although at 20% of normal capacity.

Hollywood star and devout Christian Kirk Cameron teamed up with an organization called “Sing It Louder USA” to host a Christmas caroling event in the parking lot of The Oaks mall in Thousand Oaks, California, defying California Governor Gavin Newsom’s lockdown orders.
The former “Growing Pains” star held his first caroling event on Dec. 6, which he pegged a “peaceful protest” and drew about 500 people to sing Christmas songs and celebrate the birth of Christ. On Dec. 13, Cameron decided to hold a similar event but this time he advertised it beforehand and drew huge crowds.
