MISSION, Kan. (AP) — Kansas reported six more coronavirus deaths Sunday to bring its total to 92 one day after a federal judge struck a blow against Gov. Laura Kelly’s executive order limiting religious services to 10 worshipers.
The ruling Saturday from U.S. District Judge John Broomes in Wichita prevents the enforcement of Kelly’s order against First Baptist Church in Dodge City in western Kansas and Calvary Baptist Church in Junction City in northeast Kansas. The Christian-founded and conservative Alliance for Defending Freedom, which was involved in the case, said 30 attended the Junction City service and 26 the Dodge City service.
