the 'ezekiel declaration'
I have been quiet because I've been staying off the noisewebs of social media, but on this one I feel that I need to comment:
I agree with Murray Cambell and David Ould. I haven't signed the 'ezekiel declaration' - and won't.
If it said, 'we don't want vaccine passports', I would have signed it, but that's not what it says. It says, 'we don't want vaccine passports because the vaccine is bad', and it's the ragging on the vaccine that I don't agree with. Not helpful.
Murray and David make a number of key and important points, which I agree with, especially including their last one:
"Fifth, instead of offering clear Gospel hope to our country, this letter creates suspicion and suggests that Christians are more interested in their own freedom rather than the common good."
This is true. I'm getting very sick of Christians whinging about our 'rights' to worship, 'rights' to freedom, 'rights' to this and that. Rights, like respect, are given, not taken. It's very much not christlike nor is it a biblical attitude. Allow us to pray and worship God, or don't; we will anyway, because God is still God.

Protecting others rights is for the common good.
There's hardly any consensus that leaky vaccines are for the common good.
