EDMONTON, Alberta, April 12, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian church that was barricaded by police for defying coronavirus health rules saw supporters gather in protest in front of the shuttered place of worship Sunday. The vast majority of those on site sang hymns, with only a handful tearing down of a portion of fencing that was later put back up. 

The protest took place at the site of Grace Life Church (Grace Life) located near Edmonton, Alberta. At the church was an estimated gathering of more than 1,000 people, according to media reports, who were there to protest the closure of the church by Alberta Health Services (AHS) with the help of local police last Wednesday. 

In the early hours of the protest on Sunday, some people – whom Grace Life made clear were not affiliated with the church – tore a portion of fencing down. A video of the incident was widely shared on social media
