On August 5th, Governor Kemp signed into law a bill that relieved business of any liability should they be sued by someone saying that they contracted COVID-19 at any place of business. Our churches are included in this bill. The wording given by the state is as follows:
Warning
Under Georgia law, there is no liability for an injury or death of an individual entering these premises if such injury or death results from the inherent risks of contracting COVID-19. You are assuming this risk by entering these premises.

Seems reasonable in our overly litigious society.
ByzRC,
At one time churches had charitable immunity
Maybe we can instigate a class action suit against the PRC for the value of their holdings in the United States.
They will post it in a jiffy, ubetcha....opposed to how often did they ever post, "Warning! May encounter God!".

Your attempt at sarcasm has me wondering if you are Father Kavanaugh who is not as sharp as he used to be...or Mark Thomas being his usual empty headed self.
I tell you its one or the other Ubetcha!!
Anon at 1000pm. It must be a very fulfilling life hating on posts by strangers while offering nothing to the actual discussion, and seeing enemies in every post.
The post above yours pointed out they are often more worried about liability than they are in bringing parishoners to experience the living God. But, you apparently will still find some reason to hate on this reply, as well. So, enjoy.
Oooops. Hit a nerve!

You are over the target, Father Kavanaugh! A sorry excuse for a priest
Only the nerve which feels pain when watching folk make fools of themselves by utterly misreading intent of posts and utterly misidentifying posters while also calling them names and insulting them.
A closer reading of The Beatitudes will show you that they do NOT say, "Blessed are they who revile, and persecute, and speak all that is evil untruly."...check it out.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!
As mole hunters, I must admit you are every bit as astute as the men who recommended Kim Philby as the "the man" to clean out British MI6, and are to be commended. Keep up the good work.

You just described Anonymous Kavanaugh!!
Our parish has that language posted on all entrance the doors.
The Americans are the most litigious people on earth, but when it comes to libel they prefer to sue in the English courts, where the bar is set much lower.
John Nolan,
One of the chief problems with the American litigation system is that litigants' attorneys generally sue on a contingency fee basis, meaning the litigant's attorney does not get paid unless there is a recovery, but if there is, the attorney generally takes 33% of the award. I understand that is not the practice in England
