(Christian News Network) – A Baptist church in Massachusetts was recently issued a cease and desist order from local officials who learned that it planned to resume holding Sunday services. Officials assumed that, by announcing services at all, the church planned on violating the 10-person limit on in-person gatherings.
A religious liberties organization has now written to the Town to note that the pastor has done nothing wrong but is in compliance with the governor’s order as he clearly and specifically advised that each service would be limited to less than 10 people. On May 3, Nick White, the pastor of Victory Baptist Church in Dedham, announced in a recorded video that in-person services were to resume on May 10.
The small church of fewer than 40 people utilizes a dance studio for its meetings. “We are doing this with the right mentality,” he told viewers. “[W]e are not doing this to ‘stick it to the man.’ We’re not doing this to stick our noses up at the government and just try to be anarchists.
We’re not doing this to rebel. We’re doing this because we have a biblical mandate to gather.” “And we’re going to be doing it very respectfully,” White continued. “The Bible says to live peaceably with all men and that is our goal in this: to live peaceably with everyone around us and not be a bad testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ.” FULL REPORT
Baker, Polito, and that dyke Healey are NOT Christians in any sense of the word.
