Pastor Darryl Knappen stands in an area where church members typically gather to pray for each other by laying hands on one another at Cornerstone Church in Alexandria. Knappen listed out places in the Bible where this practice is discussed, but he said social distancing regulations have restricted the First Amendment right of religious freedom. “Laying on of hands has been something the church has done for 2,000 years,” Knappen said. “It’s an affirmation. It’s an encouragement. It’s connection.” (Jasmine Johnson / Echo Press)
