Celebrated evangelist Franklin Graham has denounced the arrest of Canadian pastor Derek Reimer, who spent Easter in jail for protesting drag queen story events for children.
“Pastor Reimer feels that God was calling him to expose and stand up against these events that endanger and seek to indoctrinate children,” Rev. Graham“It’s just wrong to expose children to sexualized, agenda-driven programs like this,” he added.
Graham noted that the harassment of Pastor Reimer was just the latest in a series of such abuse targeting Christians in Canada.of another brave Canadian pastor, Artur Pawlowski, who was “jailed for refusing to go along with what he felt was government overreach in his church related to Covid-19 restrictions and closings during the pandemic.”
Calgary police arrested Pawlowski and his brother in 2021 for the “crime” of holding in-person Christian church services, contrary to the lockdown regulations in place in the province of Alberta. The pastor later ministered to truckers at the border blockade, which earned him another arrest and 51 days in prison.
A court of appeals in Alberta, Canada, recently ruled that the arrest, jailing, and fining of a Christian pastor for resisting a Chinese coronavirus inspection of his church by police officers in April 2021 were illegal.
