Church vs. Church: Bizarre protest erupts over ‘Truth Matters’ event featuring MLA Dallas Brodie

Rebel News speaks with Dallas Brodie, Action4Canada event attendees and protesters at Langley’s Riverside Calvary Chapel as accusations of ‘hate’ and residential school ‘denialism’ are overshadowed by calls for truth and accountability.

I was on the scene at Riverside Calvary Chapel at the weekend, where supporters and protesters gathered for an Action4Canada event that had already been labelled “controversial” by media before it even began.

The event, called Truth Matters, featured OneBC leader and MLA Dallas Brodie as a keynote speaker and aimed to equip concerned Canadians with what organizers described as “strategies and practical resources to help people take action in their own community.”

Hosted by Action4Canada, opened in prayer by Riverside Calvary Chapel Pastor whose founder Tanya Gaw and volunteer Danielle Pitstilli gave speeches after Riverside Calvary Chapel pastor, Brent Smith, opened the evening with prayer.

Outside the church, a small rainbow-clad, drum-banging group of protesters
assembled some responding to calls circulated by St. Dunstan's Anglican
Church encouraging opposition to the private event.

Protesters told Rebel News that the gathering was one of “hate” and “denialism,” claims I pressed them to explain on camera.

Unlike Black Press media outlets that branded Brodie’s appearance controversial ahead of time, Rebel News was the only outlet on scene to show viewers what the event was actually about, and what those for and against it, believe about it.

Rebel News refuses to give up — even as censorship grows and our journalists face real-world threats simply for doing their jobs.

We take no government grants, which means the cost of protecting our reporters from Antifa thugs, extremist activists, and hostile mobs falls entirely on our supporters.

From Montreal to Vancouver, and around the world, our journalists and videographers now require professional security teams just to report safely, because police too often won’t intervene. These costs are significant, but they are essential if we are to keep covering the stories the establishment media won’t touch, defend free speech in Canada — and do it all while remaining fiercely independent.

Your support helps keep our journalists safe and our mission alive. Thank you!

    Anglicans and other mainline churches are apostates. They reject the Bible as thee authority on all matters. That’s the trouble with so-called churches.

    Progressivespriesrs don’t believe in the ’full gospel", hence their definition of “love” is the Marxists promise that pacifism leads to “peace”.
