. . . "Immanuel Christian School, the Springfield, Virginia institution at which Karen Pence is teaching, allegedly has its employees sign a statement of faith, and place their initials next to a series of "articles of employment."
"The statement of faith contains, more or less, boilerplate theological teachings based on a Christian interpretation of the Bible, such as: the scriptures are the "authoritative written revelation to mankind"; the "death of Christ is full payment for our sins"; and that Christians "will enter a new heaven and new earth prepared for them to enjoy perfect, everlasting fellowship with God" after Christ returns.
One of the articles of employment states:
I will strive to live a personal life of moral purity that is separated from the world according to Scriptures, as defined by the Statement of Faith of Immanuel Bible Church and agreed upon by the Elders and Pastors of Immanuel Bible Church. I understand that the term "marriage" has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive covenant union as delineated in Scripture and that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other and that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity is engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman.. . . "To draw any parallel between Rep. King’s unacceptable remarks and Karen Pence’s job at a Christian school that asks teachers and students to abide by Christian codes of conduct is ludicrous. But because such a line has been drawn, the question must be asked – if Cuomo believes that this particular Christian precept is comparable to white supremacy, and should thus be abandoned, what comes next?. . .
