Here's One Pastor's Plan to Help Christian Business Owners Unite against 'Radical Gay Lobby' Attacks

Isaiah Narciso : Apr 6, 2015  The Gospel Herald

"I'm encouraging Christian pastors, churches, florists, bakers, and boutique merchants to join together in concrete and deliberate steps to take a stand and protect the principle of American Christian Liberty." –Rev. C. J. Conner

In a press release posted on Christian Newswire, Rev. C. J. Conner, author of "Jesus and the Culture Wars: Reclaiming the Lord's Prayer," contended that Christians in the United States are being attacked by the "gay lobby." He thought the attacks came during the holiest time of the year for Christians.

"I'm encouraging Christian pastors, churches, florists, bakers, and boutique merchants to join together in concrete and deliberate steps to take a stand and protect the principle of American Christian Liberty," Conner said.

Conner outlined his plan on how Christian business owners could protect their livelihoods, particularly those working as florists, bakers and other wedding-related businesses.

"Christian merchants who serve weddings can protect their religious liberty by only offering their services to Christian Churches in exclusive, binding contracts," Conner wrote. "Merchants can continue to provide all other services as usual, but protect the free practice of their faith by contracting exclusively and specifically with Bible believing congregations to provide wedding services for their members."

Conner thought his solution would enable merchants to sell to everyone while maintaining their core Christian beliefs. He then turned his focus on what "faithful Christian congregations" can do to protect themselves.

"Congregations who rent space out for wedding related events or services as an outreach ministry should modify their organizational by-laws so that their facilities are only available for use to confirmed members of the congregation," Conner wrote. "This is a good general rule of thumb for every congregation."

The Lutheran pastor argued that churches could face "costly legal action" if they did not open up their space for rent to gay couples. In addition, he also thought it would be a good idea for Christian congregations to team up with Christian business owners through exclusive contracts.
