Inflammato­ry poster

-

A BAPTIsT church’s wayside pulpit poster board shocked me. It read ‘Brexit’ in large capitals and was accompanie­d by a picture of a wooden cross. on the crossbar was ‘democracy’ and above it ‘rIP’.

This message can be taken in two ways. Does it mean Brexit is inherently undemocrat­ic or that the farrago that has gone on in political and media circles since the referendum is undemocrat­ic?

why does a church feel such an inflammato­ry poster is desirable when the political process is so finely balanced? Is it Christian to promote

dissent? The poster it replaced said: ‘Going to church does not make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.’ I say ‘Amen’ to that. GEOFF GARRETT, Dewsbury, W. Yorks.
