A thought as Jan. 8 approaches

In the midst of the current Chapel of Awareness conflict, Chapel Guardian has pledged to look at information presented and offer alternative points of view as a counterbalance.

What has ultimately taken Chapel Guardian by surprise is how far the "Friends of Chapel" group has pushed the boundaries of taste, civility, and truth.

Pursuing a legal hearing of their grievance was their fair right, but they went far beyond that. They were unwilling to wait for a Jan. 8 hearing. They escalated hostile feelings by using inaccurate information, innuendo, rumor, and personal attacks, and venting all of that on a public blog. This behavior has not been evident on the Chapel of Awareness side.

Both sides originally acted in the way they felt was right, but it has been the "Friends of Chapel" who have unreasonably escalated the hostilities.

Now as the Jan. 8 hearing approaches, the “Friends of Chapel” group continues to engage in misinformation, loose interpretations, intimidation, among other tactics, to get its message across.

Regardless of the outcome of Jan. 8’s legal hearing, the Chapel of Awareness congregation as a whole, however it comes together after this time, must hold the “Friends of Chapel” group accountable for its mean-spirited philosophy.
