So, it was refreshing to see CBS This Morning on Monday focus on two preachers “spreading the Gospel during this pandemic.” Correspondent James Brown spoke to Pastor Craig Altman of the Grace Family Church in Tampa, Florida.

That really drove our decision to say, ‘You know, we want to do our best not to injure our community in any way.’”
