let's talk about that with the council for opening churches, pastor robert jeffers on that call todays can you tell us. >> a tremendous call today with the president, faith leaders from every major faith group in america were on that call and we were absolutely on the same page with the president about when to reopen churches and that is the belief that we need to reopen houses abortion as soon as is safe to do so, not one moment sooner, not one moment later and it is recognized by the president that that will look different for different churches which a large church like mine to go for not meeting at also having thousands of people in the same place, the president suggesting it is going to be phased, suggested maybe smaller groups in different venues at different times until we get back to normal but one thing everybody was appreciative of, the president's belief that worship and work are essential american activities and we need to get back to both of those as soon as it is safe to do so. >> people are looking forward to both those options. the washington examiner tim carney writes
