Kenya would not have been my first choice for family to exile, but the pastor is being very wise here, I think. It reminds me of when Sir Thomas More tried to get his family smuggled out of England so they wouldn’t suffer his trials and martyrdom.

I didn’t like the use of the word “exiles” in the article title. I read the article and no where does it say he’s “exiled.” The websites that use this type of sensationalism in their article titles need to either get a better grasp on what the news is, or stop trying to sensationalize everything. It doesn’t help the conservative/Christian to see this happening. The Liberty Daily is another website that does that on a constant basis and I’m getting tired of it. I even emailed the website manager and asked him to consider what he’s doing.

Ristau says, he was threatened with the removal of his security clearance...

Am I missing something here?   There was no reference to an occupation where he would need a security clearance.

That part of the story could be or become problematic as I see it.

Canada is a dictatorship currently run by the bastard son of Fidel Castro.

OK, the article indicates he is a veteran byt his bio indicated he is still in service.
Maj. Dr. Rev. Harold Ristau, born in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, has served as a chaplain with the Canadian Armed Forces for the last 11 years. He holds the BA in Political Science and Economics from the University of Waterloo (1995) followed by an MA in Political Science from the same institution (1996), the MDiv from Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary and Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario (2000) and the PhD in Religious Studies (McGill University, 2006).. Ristau now serves as a professor at Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary as well as a military reserve unit.

Ristau’s published works include “Understanding Martin Luther’s Demonological Rhetoric in His Treatise Against the Heavenly Prophets (1525): How Luther Speaks is Essential to What Luther Says” (Mellen, 2010); “At Peace with War: A Chaplain’s Meditations from Afghanistan” (Wipf & Stock, 2012); and “My First Exorcism: What the Devil Taught a Lutheran Pastor about Countercultural Spirituality” (Wipf & Stock, 2016). He is married to his lovely wife, Elise, and has five young children.

And that is probably why he went to Kenya because of his military cultural ties there.   Got it.

Keep up the good fight on all fronts, mate.

he was threatened with the removal of his security clearance and government confiscation of his retirement nest egg, kids’ college funds, and other life savings.

That’ll be coming to the USA very soon.
