Pastor wins case in the UK
A pastor in the United Kingdom is celebrating a legal victory. Pastor Chizumie Dyer was fined in February of last year for literally witnessing the Gospel. The pastor was fined by Nottingham police for witnessing the Gospel and holding outdoor services for the homeless in her community. During the service, attendees were ministered to and fed a hot meal. Pastor Dyer was fined 21-thousand dollars for the outdoor services during nationwide lockdowns in Great Britain. According to reports, the pastor had filed the appropriate paperwork to have the gathering with the city prior to the event. However, police reporting to the scene claimed the worship service was illegal. The Nottingham Magistrates Court ruled in favor of the pastor, ordering the local government to pay all legal fees. Pastor Dyer says she is pleased with the outcome and encouraged other Christians in Great Britain to remember the importance of witnessing the Gospel to the most vulnerable. She says some of the guests commented that they were contemplating suicide prior to attending this event.
USA Swimming officials resign over a transgender swimmer
A USA Swimming official has resigned saying she is taking a stand concerning a continuing controversy. Cynthia Millen submitted a letter of resignation near the end of the last year. In the letter, Millen said she could no longer take part in a sport that allows biological men to compete against women. The resignation stems from a swimmer allowed to participate on the University of Pennsylvania’s swim team. The swimmer is a biological man but claims to identify as a woman and has been allowed to swim with the women’s team. The swimmer had previously competed on the men’s team and is now dominating the women’s swim competitions. Millen along with other critics has pointed out the swimmer has an advantage over the female swimmers due to being a biological male. A larger lung capacity, and a larger skeletal frame, are just a few biological advantages that critics say males have over females. According to reports, female swimmers have left races literally in tears following meets against the swimmer; members of the University of Pennsylvania women’s swim team even contemplated boycotting their final race but feared persecution from the LGBT community. Cynthia Millen says allowing a biological male to swim against women in college races could end up destroying women’s competitive swimming. (the competitive swimmer goes by the name Lia Thomas and has commented on how “easy” swimming against biological women has been).
NC sheriff refuses to remove Bible scripture on an office wall
A North Carolina sheriff says he will not take down a sign after pressure from an atheist organization. Sheriff Jody Greene is refusing to remove a Bible scripture on a wall inside of the Columbus County Sheriff’s Department. The scripture, Philippians 4:13 is featured on the wall of the office building. The sheriff says the scripture inspires and motivates him and his staff as they strive to protect the community. Atheist organization Freedom from Religion Foundation says the scripture alienates a huge portion of the American population. Sheriff Greene responded to the organization on social media. In his post, the sheriff says he was raised in church and his motivation comes from Jesus Christ. Greene added that the department’s officers pray before serving warrants or any service that puts them in harm’s way. The scripture on the wall according to the sheriff was paid for by private donations, not public funds and he has no plans of taking it down.
