It has taken me a few hours to diminish the anger that surfaced when I first saw these two pictures below.
As readers will note I have taken exception to the lack of strong leadership from the church during this COVID crisis. During a time when fellowship is most needed, most urgently needed, many churches are collapsing under their own fear. This is not a good outcome.
Suffice to say, there is absolutely nothing sensible about the position of this church as pictured; NOTHING.
First, for vaccinated people there is absolutely nothing to fear from the decision of another person not to vaccinate themselves. A non-vaccinated person does not represent a greater risk to a person who is vaccinated against the COVID virus. It is abject nonsense to make any other argument.
Second, this purposeful division is akin to saying ‘good people on the right, pesky non-good people on the left’. Setting up “classes of distinction” based on voluntary compliance with a non-FDA-approved test vaccine is ridiculous in the extreme. For a faith-based organization to be doing this is beyond the pale.
There is absolutely nothing christian about dividing people based on their vaccination status. Jesus did not say “love thy neighbor” and proceed to inject a qualifying “unless” in the statement....

The “Clean” and the “Unclean”?
The sheep and the goats.
The American church is showing itself to be that of Laodicea. Too many are ruled by cowardice, and not the commands of the Lord.
I used to be a clergyman. One thing I learned: there are many stupid clerics.
Looks like they have plenty of room on both sides.
My former church (left for all the BLM/woke nonsense they were pushing) and now just saw this in my email “At 10:30 am we will have our Traditional Easter Service in the Sanctuary. The sanctuary will open at 10:00 am for in person worship, and we will have ushers available to help seat everyone with appropriate social distancing. If you have been vaccinated please let your usher know so they can seat you in the vaccinated section. “
R.O.F.L.M.A.O. It’s obvious that most of the parishioners have decided neither side of this church is feeding their faith. maybe a dozen people?
Yet both signs indicate that masks and social distancing are still required.
