(Not Clickbait!) Canadian Pastor Jailed for NOT Requiring Proof of Vaccination to Attend Church + Sing

A Candian pastor who was fined last week for defying New Brunswick Covid-19 Emergency orders has been jailed for at least a week, the latest religious leader to be imprisoned for refusing to allow the Government to dictate how a Christian Church service must be run.

In the province, the tyrannical government has imposed the following restrictions on all religious gatherings. Churches must choose between:

1. Only allowing fully vaccinated people to attend their service while wearing mandatory masks, checking everyone at the door to ensure they have their “vaccine passport.”
2. If allowing unvaccinated congregants, the church may only meet at 50 percent capacity, must wear masks, must contact trace down to the seat, must social distance, and are strictly forbidden from singing.

Furthermore, the emergency order allows law enforcement to enter the building at any time, without permission or a warrant, to ensure that its inhabitants are complying. [Editor’s note: Yes, and in direct contradiction of Section 15 of the Canadian Constitution.]

As a result of these brutal dictates, Pastor Phillip Hutchings of His Tabernacle Family Church in St Johns, a small Pentecostal Church “co-pastored” by his wife Jamie, announced on social media that the church would not require masks or proof of vaccination, and would not be limiting the amount of people to attend, all in open defiance to some of the strictest pandemic regulation in the country. [Editor’s note: Australia is stricter, but not by much.]

Unlike other pastors like James Coates and Tim Stephens, Hutchings initially agreed to comply when officials visit him to explain the rules on October 1. But two days later at the next visit, they were carrying on their service in an “illegal” manner – unmasked, not asking for proof of vaccination, and even singing.

This scene prompted the officer who arrived to observe to leave after 10 minutes, unable to stay longer on account of being so uncomfortable with “the COVID risks at this service.” 

On October 6th the pastor was fined, and then two days later Hutchins signed an order agreeing to “make all reasonable efforts to ensure compliance.” Two days after that, people were filmed coming in and out of the church, which had been under heavy surveillance, and Hutchins was picked up and arrested last night.

Pray for courage and peace for Pastor Hutchins, his family, and the congregation.

  1. Wasn’t the “uncomfortable” officer fully vaccinated? If so, what was the concern? Have they no faith in the “vaccine”?
