Think of me as your friendly next-door neighbor!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have already seen that Children\u2019s holds little value for respecting deeply held religious beliefs, given their recent COVID Religious Waiver Committee. But this feels like a step too far. This feels like they have actively recruited activists into this field to further their progressive agenda,\u201d a former Children\u2019s Wisconsin employee told The Federalist. \u201cI think this situation really calls into question who do we want guiding the spiritual development of our children \u2014 especially children who are stuck in a hospital, isolated, sometimes alone, and extremely vulnerable and easily impressionable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reference to Children\u2019s past history vis-\u00e0-vis religious beliefs revolves around fellow chaplain Ian Butts, who interviewed Children\u2019s staff members who had submitted religious exemption requests to avoid getting the COVID vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe questions included the specifics of the employees\u2019 personal religious convictions and their vaccination record, with Butts pressing on what he considered to be contradictions,\u201d Kylee Griswold of The Federalist <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/02\/24\/premier-childrens-hospital-fires-unvaxxed-nurses-after-questioning-and-rejecting-their-religious-beliefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a> in February 2022. \u201cTwo particularly leading questions regarded the specifics of how the employees would keep their patients safe without being vaccinated, implying a moral implication of refusing a vaccine, as well as how they could square working for a hospital that mandated something so contrary to their personal convictions as a condition of employment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last June, Newendorp enthused on Facebook, \u201cLove Jesus. Be gay. Get ordained. What better way to celebrate Pride than being ordained?! Many thanks to my church and classes for being willing to stand for queer folks being included in ministry and for allowing me to follow God\u2019s call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October, she wrote, \u201cAlso your casual reminder that my validity as an ordained minister is currently under review by my denomination because of the love I feel for my fianc\u00e9.
