On Racism and Vaccines. Don’t be anyone’s Guinea Pig. From 19 December 2020

Now that there is a Covid-19 vaccine available (not my monkey-not my zoo), it is being argued that People of Colour and Latinos should be first in line as a matter of equity, or “leveling the playing field.”

I imagine that these communities will be a little wary of this idea, given the story below.

And this should give everyone pause about the pronouncements of the Centre for Disease Control:

From 19 December 2020–A Workaround Illegal Church Lockdowns

We seem to have a bit of confusion in Ontario. Christians understand that Jesus is Lord, and our government believes it is Lord, and all this “Jesus stuff” is little more than a side diversion, like a curling club. Probably not as important, actually.

So beginning Monday, churches are limited to 10 in attendance. Now I understand that this is against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, draconian, illogical, tyrannical, and just plain wrong.

So, in keeping with the reality of the rightful Lord over all creation, and the death-throes of a would-be empire, I am moving forward for Sunday worship on the 27th of December, and continuing for however long the arbitrary rules apply.

Here is our worship schedule:

11 AM–worship in person and online. Limit of 10 in person, so please RSVP. Online is unlimited until some sort of inclusive/diverse censorship kicks in.

12:15 PM–second service, limit of 10. RSVP

1:30 PM–third service, limit of 10. RSVP

You can see where this is going. God’s got all day and so do I. Each setting will include the Lord’s Supper.

Please don’t get used to this convenience! After the collapse of the oligarchy, we’ll go back to normal and continue the task of discipling the nations.

Permission to Worship–from 21 December 2020

What a relief! “Virtual (online) church services are PERMITTED.”

We live in a land where worship is banned in person and permitted only online. Permitted, as though someone has thought that they have the power of permission.

Please think this through. “Permitted”–will content be evaluated, or will permission be denied because of the strain on “essential bandwidth”? Will there be permits issued and licensing fees demanded?
