After the City of Abbotsford joined a slew of intolerant cities in blocking Sean Feucht’s Let Us Worship concert, the worship didn’t stop — it just moved.

Sunday saw approximately 1,500 worshippers and freedom of religion supporters gather peacefully at the event's new location.

Sean Feucht led a worship event where First Nation, Jewish, and African pastors blessed the crowd, contradicting negative portrayals by activists, politicians, and media.

The backlash against the city’s decision was strong.

Federal Conservative MP Sukhman Gill, B.C. Conservative MLAs Harman Bhangu and Heather Maahs, and One B.C. Party Leader Dallas Brodie condemned the move, calling out city officials for bowing to far-left pressure instead of defending freedom of religion and expression.

B.C. party MLA Tara Armstrong, who attended a peaceful worship gathering near Kelowna, criticized the denial of public worship due to activist threats, calling it a dangerous precedent.

Despite the political pushback, Mayor Ross Siemens and council held strong to their “public safety” excuse for shunning the Christian event from a public space they’ve rented out to faith groups many times before.

The rejected Christians and religious freedom supporters were welcomed to enjoy Feucht’s concert on the beautiful private property of Berry Farm owner Walter Willems instead.

Unlike the mainstream media, which has been eager to parrot claims that Feucht's event somehow posed a public safety risk without scrutiny, Rebel News was on the ground to capture what really happened, and to interview attendees, Feucht, and the owner of the venue about what they believe is happening to the state of Christianity in Canada.
