The Christian Taliban in Charlotte
The Christian Taliban is alive and well — at Central Church of God in Charlotte.
This megachurch, with more than 6,000 members, says it no longer will support the ecumenical ministry Loaves and Fishes because it also receives support from Catholics.
Here’s what the Central Church said in a letter withdrawing support: “As a Christian Church, we feel it is our responsbility to closely follow the (principles) and commands of scripture. To do this best, we feel we should abstain from any ministry that partners or promotes Catholicism, or for that matter, any other denomination promoting a works-based salvation.”
Are you kidding me? Which scriptures command churches not to work with other denominations to help people in need if their creeds differ in the details?
And what organization will be pure enough to qualify for this church’s precious dollars?
Let’s be honest. This is a tried-and-true scheme by a right-wing church to make their members feel superior to someone or somebody — keepers of the one true faith. Okay, that’s fine. We’re accustomed to that kind of Taliban-like behavior from the religious right.
But to withhold support from Loaves and Fishes — a ministry whose mission is to provide a week’s worth of food to families that don’t have enough to feed their children — that is pathetic.
Do you feel better now, Central Church of God? Do you feel cleaner, holier, closer to Jesus? Happy Holy Week!
