    Neither had I. It's such an unusual, clunky phrase that falls so oddly on the ears of Christians, it's fair to wonder why it suddenly appeared across multiple accounts on the same day. If one reasonably assumes no coordination, that suggests a common impulse at work.https://twitter.com/JeremyMcLellan/status/1120115012922675200 …

        Sometimes, when people in the same political camp are pushing common messages or language simultaneously, it's logical to assume a coordinated campaign. But when it's not, it illustrates a common thought process.

        I do think it's reasonable to suspect coordination between the former President and two of his cabinet members.

        The first Christians, while being persecuted, killed, and driven from Jerusalem, were told not to even say His (Jesus Christ’s) name. There is power in the name, & the fact that they won’t say it is noticeable. Now they won’t even say the name of His followers. We’re Christians.

        I've assumed coordination since pro-life pregnancy care centers were uniformly denounced as "phony clinics" awhile back. Message discipline is admirable even when the messaging is reprehensible.

        If they are medical clinics, as they purport to be, they would be subject to regulation and inspection. They specifically fight against the inspections required for other health clinics.

        Especially when this is Twitter, and the label they chose had twice as many characters.

        Personally, I had no reaction to the wording, which struck me (especially in a Twitter context) as shorthand for "people worshipping on Easter." Which has a different connotation than just saying Christians, since Easter is a high attendance day for churches.
