According to a report in the Epoch Times, the state of Pennsylvania is paying churches to convince their members to get vaccinated.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s administration wants pastors, rabbis and other faith leaders to turn their houses of worship into centers for “vaccination events,” using federal grant money as an incentive to lure churches into a partnership with the government.
But this is not just going on in Pennsylvania as reported by the Epoch Times. It’s going on across the United States.
The Epoch Times article reports that Pennsylvania’s public health leaders want to “harness the power of community trust in statewide faith-based organizations” to convince people to get a COVID-19 gene-therapy injection. That is a quote from the mission statement of an organization called the Faith-based Organization Coalition. This organization, the Epoch Times reports, is being formed under the state’s Department of Health and is expected to launch April 11.
The state aims to reduce vaccine hesitancy through the “Local Innovations in Vaccine Equity in Pennsylvania” project (LIVE PA), which is a grant program that pays churches and nonprofits to speak with their people and persuade them to get vaccinated, according to the Epoch Times.
And how much are these corrupt churches being paid by the government?

My LCMS church could use the money, but no, and we wouldn’t accept it in any case.
Ummmm....no.
Not the church I go to.
We want nothing to do with govt programs and/or money.
This deep into the “pandemic” I would think that most people with two brain cells to rub together have already made up their minds about vaccinations.
If someone can be swayed, one way or the other, two years into this...i have to wonder about their mental capacity. What have they been waiting for?
And would your preacher really influence you, one way or the other? I mean, I listen to my priest/minister on some things—but if they were handing out stock tips or car advice, their opinion would hold little sway. (Unless they had a background in either.)
no matter how it is “excused”,
this is paid murder and battery (and worse) KNOWINGLY.
it continues because there has been NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
Cowards who have the information WILL NOT RELEASE IT,
and therefore are complicit by now, too.
Unbelievable!!!
That is why the non-doctrinal/traditional Christian denominations go sideways so easily. Sadly (Everyone) is impacted, because the currents of time always try to seduce religion to be their cheerleader. The Chinese are doing it today (trying to change Christianity so it poses less of a threat to their regime), the Nazi’s did it... All denominations today are impacted, but the non-orthodox denominations are especially hard hit because their lack of traditions nor a classical doctrinal approach which makes them highly succepatble to being swayed one way or another.
Christianity is sucked into whatever the currents of the day are: feminism (Methodists a long time ago), homosexuality (ELCA), global warming, covid, socialism (Roman Catholics)... And that has been happening for a long time. Everyone has been tainted in some way or another - but some a lot more than others.
It is important to keep the world out of the church. The church has the function of salvation and should stay true to the word. When you bring all these contemporary themes of the day into the church, and some (as in the church leadership/clergy) do it intentionally to stay current and relevent in their mind, you ultimately “pervert” the message.
This late push, at a time where so many have “immunity” from the jab or naturally and when Covid has mutated itself into what is essentially a cold (not even the flu) is madness.
Or there is another objective.
It’s pretty clear that it’s the latter…if not both.
Whatever happened to separation of church and state? Remember when statists didn’t want to pay parochial schools a dime of tax money, because of separation of church and state?
The government is taking over religious organizations with refugee resettlement billions.
It was no coincidence Bergoglio stood at the Mexico border and claimed candidate Trump was no Christian for his intention to build a border wall. But, it is not simply the Catholic Church, it is all of the major churches and some secular entities/groups too.
They receive their money directly from the US Treasury via the federal appropriations and budget process. You’ll never hear a public statement on this money, it’s all done in closed committees. It is theft of billions upon billions of US taxpayer dollars.
I hope a few Judas types off themselves and The King of kings shows up this week.
Of the multiple demonstrable proofs that Frank is the Anti-Pope, pushing the aborted-baby tainted concoction on the faithful rates highest in my book.
“...two brain cells to rub together ... Some people call that a “gabby”. Anyway, folks that decided early on that they didn’t wish to participate probably won’t be convinced now. We remain “NON GMO”. Just as with flu shots, we choose not to. Simple as that. No political statement or religious “exemption”. Why should anyone NEED a religious exemption*. Used to be “NO MEANS NO!” remember? Pastor/priests/rabbis need to stick to their trade.
Rhetorical, I know.
If I was a member of such a flock, I’d be more than a little pissed, on multiple levels.
In addition, you have to imagine that there are those in government who are laughing at this situation.
I wonder if they paid Imams to do the same. /s
I will repeat my initial determination, ‘They will not stop.’ It’s as crystal clear as it can be that the jab has absolutely nothing to do about your well-being or good health. By now everyone should have figured out what is really going on.
I could see it if you church was a 501(c)3 because then the government can tell it whatever the hell it wants to and the church cannot function as intended.
I was told long ago if you need to go to a 501(c)3 Church for the tax deduction, you picked both the wrong Church in the wrong reason.
The article states Samaritan’s Purse is an organization involved in this. Anybody have a link that explains this further?
Graham has been heavily criticized for his support of the jabs.
YMMV
Come out of her my people….
Church State separate? Hell no:-)
