WASHINGTON â Less than 24 hours after the Senate passed its massive pandemic relief package during a marathon session in early March, Raphael Warnock was back in Atlanta doing what heâs done for years â preaching in a church.
Donning his kente cloth-trimmed ministerâs robe, the senator from Georgia smiled as he slowly walked to the pulpit to the tones of an organ emanating bluesy chords.
âThereâs a sweet, sweet spirit in this place. Thereâs a sweet, sweet spirit in this virtual space.â
Warnock is here most Sundays in his role as senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church. The tall red brick church sits largely empty for the livestreamed service due to coronavirus restrictions.
