Lancaster Newspaper Online (LNP) reported Friday, June 24th, that the
Independence Reformed Bible Church engaged in some sort of hate-filled
protests in Lititz on Sunday, the 19th, at a pride festival. The story is riddled
with innuendo, half-truths, and outright falsehoods and tries to paint our
church as advocating for some sort of governmental overthrow.
The truth is that some from our church did visit Lititz on that day to advocate
for Christ and His church. Our church believes in the truth and accuracy of
Bible plus the dangers and reality of sin. The outreach was intended to
provide opportunities for discussion amongst those who would celebrate an
unbiblical lifestyle.
The LNP pointed out a sign amongst our group that read “Christ Hates Pride”
which is a view expressed over and over in the Bible. It’s fair to say that God
hates sin, it’s fair to say that pride is at the root of most sin, and it’s fair to say
it in public.
Speaking of truth, what can we say about the LNP’s report that one of our
group was holding a sign that said, “Burn Gays?” This is simply false.
Among other inaccuracies of the LNP article is that our church was involved
in an educational event scheduled by the Mid-Atlantic Reformation Society
(MARS). Although there is overlap in the leadership of our church and MARS,
the MARS educational event was to explore the origins and changes in the
Pennsylvania Constitution and was entirely unrelated to the Sunday
outreach.
There’s more, but we hope you get the point: The LNP report was a vicious
hatchet-job masquerading as news.
We understand that the LNP is in the business of selling newspapers and
controversy sells. However, creating controversy by casting our church as a
terrorist group and smearing as haters those of us who are concerned about
the eternal welfare of others sheds more light on the editorial bias of the
LNP than it does on what happened in Lititz.
