The city of Chicago has dismissed both âdisorderly conduct and mob actionâ citations against Pastor Cristian Ionescu of Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church and Pastor Florin Cimpean of Philadelphia Romanian Church for holding a morning and an evening service on May 17, 2020. The pastors were charged for having more than 10 people in their large sanctuaries for worship.
Liberty Counsel represents Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church and Logos Baptist Ministries and will file a motion for summary judgment to the lower district court in their federal lawsuit against Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. The churches are returning to the district court with the now overwhelming number of decisions from the Supreme Court and other federal courts of appeal striking down discriminatory executive orders against churches and places of worship.
