A June 7 “Faith+Works” march organized by Washington-area churches drew criticism of pastors who were marching but not gathering in person for worship.
Marchers carried signs calling for racial equality rooted in Christian Scriptures. David Platt, pastor-teacher at McLean Bible Church in Virginia and former president of the International Mission Board, promoted the march via Twitter, “March+Pray+Sing with other followers of Christ from churches across the District today at 2 p.m. #faiththatworksDC.”
Platt received criticism from some following his promotion of the march due to the fact that McLean Bible Church is currently foregoing in-person worship services for online services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
