Some information about Pastor Browne:
Pastor Rodney Morgan Howard-Browne (born June 12, 1961) is a South African-born American evangelist. He has resided in Tampa, Florida, since the mid-1990s and is pastor of The River Church in Tampa Bay. The River is considered both Pentecostal and Charismatic with revival meetings, led by Howard-Browne, known for his church audience to experience phenomena similar to the Great Awakenings and Azusa Street Revival. Howard-Browne is the head of Revival Ministries International, a ministry he and his wife founded in 1997.

Pastor Browne kept his church open during the COVID-19 pandemic and on March 15 told his congregants they could continue shaking hands. He dedicated most of the sermon to mocking fears about the spread of the coronavirus and calling it a “phantom plague” designed to shut down churches and terrify people into receiving a vaccine that would cause mass deaths as a population control scheme, (this turned out to be true folks) which he claimed was part of a plan laid out in a 2010 document “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development” produced by The Rockefeller Foundation and Global Business Network. Several weeks prior, Howard-Browne claimed in a video that he would cure Florida of coronavirus, and in a 2019 video he had claimed that he and other worshipers at his church had cleansed Florida of Zika virus.

On March 29, 2020, Pastor Browne's congregation received a visit from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office warning about his violations of the county's safer-at-home order, which limited public gatherings to 10 people. The next day, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister announced that he had issued an arrest warrant for unlawful assembly and for violating rules regarding public health emergencies after Howard-Browne continued to hold large church services in defiance of the public order. Chronister said he had no choice but to take action against Howard-Browne, stating in his own opinion "His reckless disregard for human life put hundreds of people from his congregation at risk and thousands of residents who may interact with them this week." This of course, was untrue and no sickness came upon anyone!

On March 30, 2020, Pastor Browne was arrested and jailed for unlawful assembly and for violating health and safety rules, with each charge carrying a maximum penalty of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. He was released from jail after posting a $500 bond. On April 1, Pastor Browne said that he would not open his church the following weekend over fear of his congregation's safety and to protect them from “government tyranny." However, his lawyer, Mathew Staver of the law firm Liberty Counsel, said that Pastor Browne's arrest earlier in the week had led to the pastor's insurance policy being cancelled. Pastor Browne also claimed that he had received death threats. The pastor held open the possibility that the church would be open for Easter services but then announced on April 9 that it would instead be closed. Prosecutors dropped the charges on May 15, deeming that Howard-Browne posed no ongoing risk to public health after he took steps to maintain responsible social distancing at the church. Then, in May 2020, he opened the church as TheStand.
