Doug Wilson is not the only Christian blogging about the
phenomenon of people leaving a church over the issue of compulsory mask-wearing,
but he’s probably more quoted on the subject than most. Responding in a
recent post to questions from believers frustrated by the stand their own
elders have taken over the issue, Doug has (perhaps inadvertently) opened a
larger can of worms than the mask issue itself, which is the authority of
elders to bind the consciences of those under their care over matters about
which scripture is silent.
And the mask issue is certainly that.
