As a pastor, the last thing I want to do is expose our congregation to unnecessary risk. That being said, as more businesses/organizations are considered for reopening (whenever that may be), churches need to be in that conversation too. Masks, sanitizer, increased distancing, and 30% populated is a great start. Safety measures can mitigate the risk! Suggesting that reopening is a matter of greed is inaccurate for mainstream denominations--the pastor gets the same stipend whether there are 8 persons in the building on Sunday morning or 308 persons; the same whether there is $80 in the plate or $8,000.
