Of course it is a HEALING service!!!
All in the spirit of diversity and tolerance, of course.
There is a non-Christian in the chain of command. When my son was beginning his first semester at Chapel Hill, his heathen roommate was watching porn all the time which disturbed my pure Christian son to the point that he complained and then the punishment began. The girl in charge of the dorm was about as anti-Christian as it gets. I flew back there and had a meeting with the head of housing who was even worse. I was so angry at his anti-Christian B.S. partially because he so insulted my son to the point of tears that I immediately hired a lawyer and started the process to sue the University. Ultimately, they backed off a little, so we never went to court, but these anti-Christian types are everywhere...maybe it will have come to civil war...I am ready to fight these bastards to the end if need be!!!
.
Pastor needs to get a court order which says that the school has to give him a key and allow him access. That’s not non-Christian. If UMMC is breaking a contract, they need to know that there are consequences. Or they can hold their service in the parking lot if the weather is nice. Rent a generator if necessary and then send the school the bill.
It would be wonderful if the church had an investigative service that could check every group that has rented that conference center to confirm they were all “medical”
then let the lawsuit pay for an expansion of the church
Now turn it around. Try and rent a large venue in January, and 2 weeks before their busiest day of the year try to cancel because, oops, we made a mistake in policy.
Then try and get out of paying the contracted price....
Hear, hear.
Good idea.
How could they possibly not understand that something called “The Word Center Church” was a church?
Why didn’t the pastor simply make a call to the Governor of the state, his state representative or senator, and the president of the university? One of these officials would likely have intervened to fix the problem. If not, have a lawyer call and demand the contract be fulfilled. If that fails, create a public relations firestorm.
I suspect this is all about an atheist bureaucrat in the chain of command trying to assert her/his authority. Many times I’ve found when dealing with a bureaucracy, a phone call to the top person will cut through the red tape and result in a positive resolution. It has gotten to the point that when dealing with any organization (business, government, non-profit, etc) as soon as I run into a brick wall, or feel like I’m getting the runaround, I make a call to the CEO’s office. i usually don’t get to speak to the CEO, but I always get someone who will deal with the situation and give me an answer on the spot or within a few hours.
If a call to the head isn’t working, and the pastor has a valid contract to rent the facility, a lawyer should be able to make a few calls and get things back on track. An attorney calls the head of the legal office of the university. He tells them his client has a valid contract. Either cancel the contract in writing with justification based on the letter of the contract or honor the contract. If you cancel the contract, we are suing and will create the biggest public relations firestorm we can.
It is hard for me to believe in Mississippi, of all states the state officials won’t intervene and tell the University officials to rent the facility and get over their personal issues with religion.
I am not sure if I get you. Jesus was not an MD with a medical degree. He performed miracles, healing was one of them and traveled from place to place with his disciples
If only it was a gay church...
Why does diversity and tolerance always mean the Christians have to go? And how could the administration at the university NOT know what was going on on their campus? They are lying.
Would the use of the conference center have been canceled if a Muslim group were using it?
“We have to follow our policies, Rolph said.”
Apparently policy is more important to commitment. A church service is healing to many in many ways. I can believe this could happen many places but I’m surprised for it to occur here in Mississippi. The least the university should have done is acknowledge they made a policy error BUT HONOR THEIR COMMITMENT. Is haley barbour behind this?
