Recently we had a retired United Church minister, who gave a talk on “Dignity in Dying”, which, although it included other topics, was mostly a presentation in favour of MAID.I was approved to speak for this August.
Even though I provided the required information and I was open to questions from any participant, I was informed, today, that I would not be welcome at the Men's Club.
Since the Men's Club neither supports nor opposes MAiD, I understood that not everyone would be happy with my presentation, but I was willing to provide information and I was open to respectful dialogue.
I have also spoken at several other civic events and once again there was respectful dialogue.
It concerns me when groups prevent free and open dialogue. I would never be "hateful" or "discriminatory" but clearly the Men's Club is closed to our point of view.
Oh, by the way, Yes, I do oppose killing people.
Thank you so much for all you do to defend life and vulnerable people. You surely dont get enough thanks for what you do. Thank God we still have people defending life. Its tragic when the free exchange of ideas is crushed. What do they fear, why do they work so hard to censor another opinion. Their arguments are weak and cannot hold up, thats why.
ReplyDeleteThank you for defending life and exposing the lack of free speech which doesn’t conform to official position
ReplyDeleteGuelph is a liberal hotbed that espouses all sorts of dubious ideas, while priding itself on being progressive and inclusive. Sadly this doesn’t surprise me.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that they invited a “United Church” minister to speak to them!!! Haven’t we all read on their website, the “prayers” to God asking for forgiveness of being euthanized, that came out in 2020. I’m sure they have now taken those off their website, as there was a bit of backlash, but we all know there aren’t very many “biblical” United Churches, whose members actually have put their faith and trust in the Word of God and the Son of God for Salvation from sins through Jesus’ sinless life and substitutionary death on the Cross, shedding His blood for the forgiveness of OUR Sins, and Rising on the third day - the firstfruits of the Resurrection!!! The Guelph Wellington Men’s Club HAS MADE THEIR END OF LIFE DECISION as they don’t want to hear from Alex Schadenberg! How disheartening.
ReplyDeleteIt's only through respectful dialogue that any progress can be made in terms of understanding each other. Very sad they allowed a MAID presentation be made but not one from EPC.
