There is a place to leave comments. Three comments have been left, all speaking out against the actions taken by the pastor there.


I also found this. Apparently, this pastor had been pushing for church members to sign an agreement with him on personal beliefs. A bit insecure, no?

An action of East Waynesville Baptist Church pastor Chan Chandler to require from his members written agreement with his personal political viewpoint would be “highly irregular” if it is true as reported, said Jim Royston, executive director-treasurer of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSCNC).

East Waynesville is a cooperating member of the BSCNC by contributing financially to the BSCNC’s state, national and international missions efforts. As with any member of the BSCNC, churches are autonomous and decisions they make are neither directed by, nor directive to the Baptist State Convention.

Royston has not spoken with Chandler about the issue and hesitated to make any statements with implications wider than the issue in the local church. He did say that such a position as the one Chandler is reported to have taken could threaten a church’s tax exempt status because it could be interpreted as stepping into political advocacy, an action prohibited by IRS rules.

This guy is not only fundie he's a lying fundie. Some bright Dem church member recorded him saying from the pulpit that if you vote for Kerry you should resign from the church . CBS just played it on the Evening News!
