I cannot disagree.

Rousseau said man was born free and everywhere there are chains. Hume disagreed saying man wasn't truly free until mechanisms in society were implemented to protect people and their property.

I wonder if our predecessors will think of such things, chained to a bed in the dark, waiting for the master to return.

Just as info for the general readership here: Missouri Synod pastors are overwhelmingly Republican, if for no other reason than the church’s opposition to abortion.
Shouldn’t support for abortion be grounds for removal of a lay person too?
It would be a “Scotch revival” but it would be the right thing to do.

We lost about 1/3 of our LCMS congregation when our previous pastor made opposition to abortion a stay-or-go issue, and pledged the church support of a local pregnancy life center. The present pastor is pro-life as well, but the congregation has shrunk to the point that, barring a revival miracle, it will not survive the deaths of most of the present members, which will occur in the next decade.

Your church did a very good, faithful thing, in my opinion.

We are just to be faithful unto death, even church death.
