WASHINGTON A divided Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency appeal by a California church that challenged state limits on attendance at worship services that have been imposed to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
The church argued that limits on how many people can attend their services violate constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and had been seeking an order in time for services on Sunday.
The church said it has crowds of 200 to 300 people for its services.
The court also rejected an appeal from two churches in the Chicago area that objected to Gov.
Before the court acted, Pritzker modified the restrictions to allow for up to 100 people at a time.
