CHURCHES MAY BE LEFT ON THEIR OWN (INSURANCE)
national review ^ | July 9, 2015 | David French

Posted on 07/09/2015 2:59:44 PM PDT by knarf

The general liability form does not provide any coverage for this type of situation, since there is no bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, or advertising injury. If a church is concerned about the possibility of a suit, we do offer Miscellaneous Legal Defense Coverage. This is not liability coverage, but rather expense reimbursement for defense costs. There is no coverage for any judgments against an insured.

Sort of ...

If the USSC deems gay marriage (state) equal to straight marriage (church) ....

THE WALL HAS BEEN ADJUDICATED AWAY !

it no longer exists and can no longer be a charge, a reason, an example an anything ... it's gone !

Someone whose intellect I respect is Mark Steyn. He’s just done a piece comparing what’s going on here with events in Germany in 1933 — only THIS TIME it won’t JUST BE THE JEWS!
I’ve been trying to hammer this one home for over a year!
And, friends, it’s JUST STARTING!
THIS IS A MUST READ!!!

Sadly our troubles ahead were all preventable.
We had protection of our religious liberty, our speech and the right to assemble, yet we failed to assemble millions of faithful as a strong voice against the wicked bold tyranny from the 2% among us who are are defiant deviant sodomites.

The persecution of Christians and their churches is a good opportunity to redeem ourselves during a time when the majority of people turn their back on that which is of god and good.
As good a time as any to winnow and separate wheat from chaff, before the big harvest.

They should send any legal bills to Justice Kennedy. The idiot said this wouldn’t happen.

Bump for your post and for reading the Steyn article linked therein. I read it a couple days ago, it is sobering stuff.

It’s time for an entrepreneur to start an insurance company that provides all inclusive insurance for churches and religious organization.

Perhaps all Christian-owned businesses should register as church ministries which - particularly in a Protestant evangelical context - is how they already view themselves.

I posted a similar thought a while back.

Businesses that are viewed as a “public accommodation” must serve all on a nondiscriminatory basis. (I have a lot of problems with a government seizing private property and private enterprise and putting it under government’s thumb by simply defining it as a public accommodation - but that’s for another time.)

Under this present system, businesses must find structures to avoid being public accommodations. All such ways have limitations - for example, becoming a ministry means going not for profit. But being a public accommodation may have more limitations and deeper problems for many.

We have lived with a creeping socialism for so long. It is no longer creeping.

Governments do not voluntarily relinquish power. That’s not what they do. Power must be taken away from them by force.

Premiums would be unaffordable if large judgments are issued against churches that won’t perform or host homosexual “marriage” events.

As Mr. French mentions in passing, the best angle for the churches is that the plaintiffs are claiming personal injury, physical damages, and all that. If judgments are issued on that basis, a policy that covers “personal injury,” such as falls, should have to pay up.

After all, if I were struck by a falling tree limb at my church, the church’s liability policy would pay for medical payments and “pain and suffering.” Homosexuals who have been refused what they want are making this very type of claims.
