Mandatory Vaccinations to enter churches? - with Phil Colgan, John McClean & Akos Balogh

The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

What will happen in churches after the third wave of COIVD as the freedoms return to Australia over the next two months?

When vaccination rates reach 70% venues, including places of worship are likely to be reopened, and even more when the rates reach 80%.

Governments are planning more freedoms for those who are double vaccinated. But will they impose restrictions on who can attend worship?

Our guests are:

Akos Balogh, Executive Director of the Gospel Coalition Australia

John McClean, Acting Principal of Sydney’s Christ College (Presbyterian)

Phil Colgan, Minister of St George North Anglican Church

Are vaccine Passports a Religious Freedom Issue For Bible Believing Christians or not? And if the government doesn’t make it a requirement, how should local church leadership think through what expectations to put on staff, members and guests?

Plus what’s our panel’s reaction to the Ezekiel Declaration?
