The United Church of Christ, a national Protestant denomination, and other organizations have provided \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucc.org/coronavirus\">training\u003c/a> and other resources for churches that are trying to begin livestreaming their services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That effort at Bryan's church has been paying off, she said. On average, there are about 400 people in the St. Andrews congregation, but once she began \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/saintandrews\">recording her services\u003c/a> using the Zoom video conferencing platform, she began noticing new names in the attendee log.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had actually quite a few people who are not members,\" Bryan said. \"I got feedback from one person that it was her first time she had ever been in a church service.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because so many religious communities have moved their services online, she explained, worshipers can now more easily either tune in to their own regular service or experiment with any number of other services streaming online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But then they said watching us was actually more comforting because there were familiar faces,\" Bryan said. \"So, how can we keep that comfort and normalize community feel in a time that looks like, for at least the next few weeks, we're not going to be able to get together at all?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, digital offerings from religious institutions during a time of uncertainty and isolation can't come fast enough. Kyle Matsumoto Burch, who lives in San Jose's Japantown neighborhood, regularly attends worship services at \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjbetsuin.com/\">San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin\u003c/a>, located just a few blocks from his house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I [normally] walk to temple in the morning, usually when I hear the bell go off,\" Burch. \"There's a bell that they ring outside and then I just go and attend the service.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attending these services in person, Burch said, is what he misses most about having to shelter in place. And with newfound time and additional anxiety, Burch said he now watches multiple \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTMUgJqtypE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0TupWBm1DGw__puqcQVYwfrJaGqJzhfrMQhmWeHKLIyd_WbNZNxla4-rA\">services\u003c/a> a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I started getting curious about what the Oregon Buddhist [Temple] was doing and what the Orange County Buddhist church was doing, so I watched all of them,\" Burch said. \"So I ended up watching about three dharma talks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"related coverage ","tag":"coronavirus"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Burch particularly misses the community he's cultivated at the temple.

Five refinery workers, who were in the region doing contract work for Chevron, had been drinking alcohol and were riding in the truck. The beer can struck Khalsa’s car door.

Little’s cousin -- and now co-defendant -- Leblanc jumped out and followed him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Khalsa testified, he didn’t see the two men approaching, but had already called 911 to report he was being harassed. He was on the phone with dispatch when Little and Leblanc began hitting him through the open window. Khalsa says they punched him 10 to 15 times with a closed fist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during the beating that Khalsa says his two turbans fell off. One of the defendants pulled his bun, yanking his head down toward the window. One of the defendants began yelling, “cut his fucking hair,” Khalsa testified.

As a Sikh, I believe that all of us are one human family, and that we must treat everyone as equals regardless of our many differences. Mr. Little and Mr. Leblanc, I hope one day you will come to share this view.

Last week the stitches came out. I’m still a little tender and bothering me. I had a lot of sleeping issues and stuff like that, so it’s an ongoing battle. It will take a long time to heal out of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A restitution hearing will be held on July 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Acknowledging that this bias-based attack is a hate crime under state law both recognizes the deep dignitary harm to Mr. Khalsa, and ensures that we, as a society, confront the problems of Islamophobia, racism and xenophobia that make the Sikh community a target for violence,” said Sikh Coalition staff attorney Pawanpreet Kaur in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Assault\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The altercation on Sept. 25 began when a half-full beer can was thrown out the window of a Ford F-250 truck at a stoplight near Hilltop Mall in Richmond. Five refinery workers, who were in the region doing contract work for Chevron, had been drinking alcohol and were riding in the truck. The beer can struck Khalsa’s car door. Khalsa testified on April 24 that he opened his door, reached down and tossed the can back toward the truck’s open window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to testimony by Dustin Albarado, who was in the back seat of the truck, Little became angry and flung himself across Albarado’s lap and began \"cussing\" out the window at Khalsa. Albarado testified that Khalsa was also yelling obscenities ... calling the refinery workers \"stupid-ass punks.\" Albarado says he wrapped his arms around Little to restrain him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The light changed and both cars moved ahead -- the incident seemingly over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Little’s hat flew out the truck window, Albarado testified. Little jumped out to retrieve it, but instead of getting back in the truck, he ran toward Khalsa’s car, which had stopped at the next light. Little’s cousin -- and now co-defendant -- Leblanc jumped out and followed him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Khalsa testified, he didn’t see the two men approaching, but had already called 911 to report he was being harassed. He was on the phone with dispatch when Little and Leblanc began hitting him through the open window. Khalsa says they punched him 10 to 15 times with a closed fist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during the beating that Khalsa says his two turbans fell off. One of the defendants pulled his bun, yanking his head down toward the window. One of the defendants began yelling, “cut his fucking hair,” Khalsa testified. He says he put his hands up, attempting to block his assailants and the 4-inch pocket knife. He sustained at least two deep gashes to his fingers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the entire episode, Khalsa says he never heard anyone yell a racial slur or make a comment about his religion or his appearance.
