22 of the Tholen Thirteen churches strongly protest against the raising of the rainbow flag and the opening on Sunday of many tourist shops. In a one-page ad from the local Eendrachtbode newspaper, they write that "Christian Tholen standards and values are set aside"
Tholen City Council agreed last month to hoist the rainbow flag -ciel the day of coming out, the day gays can get up for their orientation. At the same time, shops attracting many tourists (water sports) were able to open their doors on Sundays
In advertising, a large number of churches now claim the reversal of these two decisions. "The boundaries are spread and Christian norms and values, which have always been common in our congregation, are set aside, and as churches, we are very concerned about this." This is indicated in Eendrachtbode, Nieuwsblad for Tholen and Sint Philipsland. More than 25,000 people live in Tholen
Conflict with the Bible
According to the parish councils of the former Reformed and Reformed municipalities, there is no other relationship than that between a man and a woman. The rainbow flag raising on the day of the rally goes "against the equality of the order of biblical creation".
In this letter, church councils declare that they are opposed to any form of discrimination and that every resident of Tholen must feel accepted. in the municipality, according to Omroep Zeeland.
The churches also denounce the opening Sunday of a limited number of shops. This would go against the fourth commandment of the Bible. The churches say that the day of rest is "only a gift to cherish in these troubled times"
