Virginia Church Celebrates Superspreader Service as 'Best Revival Ever'

A picturesque white-steeple church surrounded by lush trees in Keysville, Virginia—pop. 832—held a worship event last month that local health officials have “unequivocally” deemed a superspreader of the novel coronavirus.
But don’t hold your breath for an apology.
Though the gathering at Emmanuel Bible Church sickened at least 42 parishioners and church staffers, and caused a surge that forced the local school district to delay its transition to in-person instruction, it seems there are few, if any, regrets.
“Even after speaking to many that have been sick, it has been said that it was one of the best revivals ever,” the church said in a statement on its Facebook page.
It’s a story that has played out all over the nation in recent months, as “pandemic fatigue” and a zeal for in-person worship has sparked outbreaks—and exasperated public health officials.
In Keysville, the trouble started the weekend of Sept. 20, when Emmanuel Bible Church held the three-day revival services, welcoming parishioners up its brick steps into a burgundy-carpeted sanctuary. In the Facebook post about the incident, the church confirmed that “many” who attended the services became sick with COVID-19, “including the pastor.”
