According to the Carpenter, Pastor Dawkins and his wife, Gwen Dawkins, met with Chief Carter and asked it would be possible to host the Call to Arms Prayer Rally at SAPD headquarters to which Chief Carter “gladly accepted with open arms.”
The rally will feature live music and prayer in addition to the speakers. Coldwater bottles and masks will be available to those who do not have one and attendants are asked to social distance. Chairs will be provided to those who need them and attendants are welcome to bring their own.
According to the post, “any kind of violence will not be tolerated. This is a peaceful rally and God will be at the center.”

He might just send in "The Military" to scatter the group and then grandstand his way to some brainless photo op in front of some church in the area... while holding an unopened Bible upside down.

PermalinkNot everyone is a theologian, Expat.
The few times I have visited these kinds of gatherings, there is a kind of blood ritual in which people are said to ingest the flesh of the deity to gain its power.
Everyone is very somber with a pained expression. My understanding is that only some people are allowed to take the power of this ritual?
It will be interesting to see how this is done with a large gathering.
