Idaho Police Arrest Three Christians Singing Hymns During Outdoor Worship Service By Tré Goins-Phillips for Faith Wire
Three Christians were arrested in Moscow on Wednesday evening for participating in an outdoor worship service. That’s Moscow, Idaho, by the way — not Russia.
Latah County commission candidate Gabe Rench, one of the co-hosts of the conservative “CrossPolitic” show, was one of three people arrested by Moscow police officers for taking part in a “Psalm sing” event in the city hall parking lot, according to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

Two others were reportedly arrested and charged with resisting and obstructing an officer. Though Rench was arrested, he was not charged.
In total, five people were cited by police for being in violation of Moscow’s mask mandate and social distancing orders amid the coronavirus pandemic.
