COVID Update – April 2021

I would like to take a moment to update you, on behalf of the elders, regarding our approach to COVID. There have been court decisions, political maneuvers, cowardly censorship, obfuscation by the CDC, and of course, more media spin. But for us, in short, nothing’s changed.

Happy Anniversary of Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve! (A Defense of Christians’ COVID Response)

The Question Yesterday was the one year anniversary of “Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve!” On the same day, a friend of a friend was asked, essentially, why are so many Christians “disbelieving the science” and are “so brazenly uncooperative with mask-wearing, social distancing, et al.?” That’s a good question, one that the public needs …

And you may remember that I disagreed with one basic foundation of their decision, in my video on civil disobedience. That disagreement still stands.
