“The pathway to ending the pandemic runs through the evangelical church,” said Curtis Chang, a former pastor and missionary.
* Uh.... why “former?” *
Rev. Russell Moore, head of the Southern Baptists’ public policy arm expressed hope that SBC pastors would provide “wise counsel” to their congregations if members raise questions about vaccinations.
* Not their job. Their job is to preach the gospel. *
Other evangelical pastors have been hesitant to take a public stance.
* Which is as it should be. *
Aaron Harris, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Junction City, Kansas, hasn’t discussed the vaccine from the pulpit or decided whether he’ll be vaccinated. “We don’t believe that this is a scriptural issue; it is a personal issue,” said Harris.
* Exactly.*
The SBC went political.
Ended up woke.
Is going broke.
