In his exercise of dictatorial hubris, Governor Nuisance of CA determined in his pea-brained wisdom that churches do not provide "essential service", but strip clubs do. Understanding that the legal definition of a strip club is when the one on stage removes at least one clothing article, an innovative pastor temporarily designated his church as a "strip club". Read the account here and watch its video.
After fulfilling the legalities, the pastor goes on to deliver his homily. Call it what you will, it's a clever way to get around Nuisance's rules and poke some fun at him as well.
Another way of doing this would be for the priest to announce a 'spiritual' strip club in which we divest ourselves of our sins so we may "put on Christ", that is, be clad in his grace. Just a thought.
