Kelly Helms son 12-year-old Jackson Helms who has cerebral palsy was removed from Elevation Church Easter Sunday for being a “distraction”She was supposed to meet with the church leaders to discuss what happened, but the pastor canceled the meeting when he heard she had contacted Channel 9. We spoke with Jackson’s mother, Kelly Helms, today, and she says each day is a little tougher for Jackson than it is for normal children.“Easter Sunday he got all dressed up, got ready to go, no small feat with a kiddo like him,” she said. But, right after the opening prayer inside Elevation’s sanctuary that Sunday, Helms said Jackson voiced his own kind of “Amen.” Article and Video Here!
I know and realize that this will be a very unpopular opinion but it's mine so here goes. Where do the rights of a single person over ride the rights of the entire congregation? I'm sorry but I don't care for crying babies or for people moving around when service start either. If this child was a distraction to the service, the polite thing for the MOM to do would have been to remove the child as quietly as possible so the service was not interrupted. Really I don't think nor do I see anything wrong the church did. What do you think? Should Jackson have been removed from the service?
