No church is going to forbid people from attending just because they are old.
This church is about to go through a big change and reading between the lines there is an entrenched group of church members that are fighting it. I’ve seen it at other churches.
It looks like this group decided to take it to the media. I don’t trust the media.
“No church is going to forbid people from attending just because they are old.”
The church leadership itself has asked the old people to leave. That translates into “we don’t want you here”.
