1 /5 Kiyaan Aly: If I could 0 stars I would. I was interested in attending church here for a while, and finally decided to come.
I took public transit to come here and it was cold and windy this past Sunday, hitting lows in the 20s. I wasn’t able to dress very formal thus and the second I walk up to the door, two security officers come up to me and ask me what I want.
Service is at 11am Sunday. I saw that on the website along with the order of ceremonies which is written on the website to last over an hour. It’s 11:23. I tell them there is service and I’d like to attend; they flat out tell me no it’s over. I told them I looked at the website and still they refused. I didn’t bother arguing.
I walked around because I might as well see the place since I made the trip. The sign at the front of the church said “Sunday worship 8:30, 10:00, 11:00.” I clearly understand now that I was refused in because they took my clothing to be one of the homeless. I’ve attached a picture of the board.
I am genuinely frustrated. You cannot preach the word of Christ and yet refuse an individual based on his clothes. You should be ashamed. Christ would never approve of this; the first believers were the beggars and the poor and yet the religion has now resorted to elitist rhetoric. Do better.
