I been racking my brain lately to try and understand one tangible benefit of drive-in church services other than simple defiance and inability to understand the Charter.
You never see people lining up in a parking lot to listen to a hockey game on the radio.
Fellowship? Is that a thing when you can't talk to the person next to you because your windows are rolled up?

And what about the environment? Dozens of cars — hundreds potentially in the case of Springs Church — all idling to hear a sermon you could just as well watch and listen to from the comfort of your couch?
This isn't a slight against church or anything or the sort. I simply don't understand the motivation other than to claim it's a Charter infringement and government taking away rights. And it's only a handful of churches, it appears.
Why aren't the hundreds of other churches in the province jumping on the Charter infringement bandwagon? Why are they choosing to sacrifice gathering — a central tenet of many faiths — during this time of lockdown?
What about the non-church folks who can't play cards with their friends every week in fellowship?
What about the buddies who go for wings or drinks to break bread with one another and catch up on life?

The point is we're all sacrificing something here. Pandemic's fucking suck, as we are learning.
Any way, most days after work (and often during it) I find myself wondering how bad the numbers need to get, how many people need to die, and how young those people need to get, before it clicks.
