    The church is the largest provider of social services in our country. Dallas County and various other counties have discouraged/inhibited such work. Repeatedly, churches and their ministers are not included in the definitions of what is essential to our society. The language is all about businesses. While there is room given for churches to meet âvirtually,â churches canât do the vast majority of their work over a computer screen. More lives will be lost if the church stops being the church. I canât accept this.
