A large group of Lutheran churches in Minnesota announced Thursday that it will no longer abide by Gov. Tim Walz’s stay-at-home order requiring churches to limit their services to 10 people.

The group, comprising the Minnesota North District and the Minnesota South District of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, joined Catholic dioceses in Minnesota, which announced Wednesday night their intention to defy the order beginning this weekend. In a letter sent to Walz, the Lutheran churches said that they believe that since Walz has decided to open the state to businesses, churches should also be allowed to resume normal services.
