For Religion News Service, Heather Greene reports that community members are debating whether masks should be required in public schools in Cobb County, Georgia. Many opponents of a mask-mandate cite their faith as the reason for their opposition, maintaining that God will take care of them. Jennie Peterson, however, is religious and supports a mandate. A Lutheran and parent in the county, she said, “I’m paradoxically less at ease when someone who eschews the latest medical advice to combat a pandemic offers to me that I should ‘trust God. Believing science doesn’t mean forgoing trust in God.”
