My late father never cared much for people’s feelings when it came to speaking his truth.

A non-denominational Christian church in suburban Portland, Oregon is apologizing for banning overweight and obese people from its worship team.
“Weight is something that many people have to deal with,” the guidelines read. “Make sure that you are taking care of your temple, exercising and eating properly.”
The church later apologized, writing on its website: “Forgive us if we offended anyone. That certainly was not our intention. These guidelines have never been used to discriminate against anyone and have never been enforced.”
