PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - A local evangelist is planning a large Easter service in defiance of the Stay-at-Home order currently in place for many areas around the country, including Allegheny County.

The conservative Christian evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth of Pittsburgh believes the government is suppressing his rights and that religion is being attacked.


Shuttlesworth announced on his "Check the News" internet program that he wants to have an international Easter service.

"We're going to have a huge Easter service, so stay tuned," Shuttlesworth said.

The evangelist adds it will be outdoors and that he has a large TV that will be there aware.

He did not say where in the country the event will take place.

Shuttlesworth says he does not have a church of his own and runs Revival Today TV.

in early March, Shuttlesworth said that only "sissies" and "pansies" wash their hands.

President Donald Trump and the CDC any gathering of 10 or more should not take place.

"It has to be somebody that has their building paid in full that is willing to put up with the heat," Shuttlesworth added, saying they have to have a field or big parking lot.

Shuttlesworth says the shutting down of churches is not "of God" and it is a demon entity.

Shuttlesworth believes it will cause "a great awakening."

He adds the area has to private property and that it will be done in a way that "honors social distancing."

He also hopes that people drive to the undetermined location "from over the place."

Also during his program on Tuesday night, Shuttlesworth said President Donald Trump "has the wrong people in his ears right now, he did not seem himself at the news conference today, he seemed down and we got to pray that the right people get in his ear."
