Whatcott rejected by Alberta Human Rights Commission, Bike Edmonton, and even the occasional Christian, but accepted at Sean Feucht Concert
Dear Friends,
Yesterday was a profound day. I headed to Edmonton and went to the Sean Feucht revival at the legislature grounds in downtown Edmonton.

This picture above is my favourite picture that I took at the concert/revival.

Me with my sign. Behind me is Sean Feucht on the stage singing Gospel music and delivering his message of revival and standing for Christ in a sometimes hostile culture.

Towards the end of the revival a friend who I met at the concert took my sign to hold it up after I got tired and sat down.
Towards the end Sean Feucht lead a communion service. To my surprise he referred to Holy Communion as a sacrament, rather than merely an ordinance. On this point I agree with Sean Feucht. It is clear to me in Scripture that God instituted Holy Communion and it is more than merely an ordinance. Holy Communion has sacramental qualities.
“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”In the same way also He took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. ” 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
After communion there was an altar call. The altar experience for me was surreal. Notwithstanding my smile in the above pictures, this past week I have been going through some emotional pain. I don’t believe men should be overly emotional/feminine, crying over every slight or disappointment. I have had some big losses recently, but was keeping things together when I went forward. While not the theme, Sean Feucht did mention in passing that God heals rejection and I was pondering that in regards to my past week experiences while at the altar. While pondering and hurting over this week’s events, a man who was a friend of mine for years, but ghosted me 3 years ago after a family member of his and one of his friends took advantage of me for thousands of dollars. This man walked by me and after praying for someone beside me, decided to pray over me.
The combination of my recent pain and then having this guy lay his hands on me was too much. I broke down as the inner pain was too severe. I don’t think the fellow knew what to do. He hugged me for a moment and then said “God bless you” and quickly moved on. I didn’t feel like being a spectacle at the altar so I composed myself and headed back into the crowd. The attendance appeared to be at least a couple thousand people at the concert, so it was easy to blend in the crowd.
Anyways, I also got the news below this week. No surprise. Alberta’s bureaucracy is almost as badly effected with homosexual activism and anti-Christian antipathy as any other province. Daniel Smith supports homosexual marriage and homosexual rights. She is also more tolerant of Christians, as evidenced by her government’s refusal to cancel Sean Feucht. But bureacracies like the Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC) are operating much as they did under Rachel Notley’s NDP government and the agenda of the AHRC is no different than the agenda of the Ontario Human Rights Commission or the British Columbia Human Rights Commission.


Anyways, for those not familiar with the complaint here is the video of Bike Edmonton kicking me out of their store. This is about as discriminatory and fitting of what a Human Rights Commission would allegedly deal with as it gets.
As believers who follow Jesus and who are called to defend God’s definition of marriage and sexuality, I would encourage you to not be surprised or disheartened when you experience double standards and mistreatment. Even when it is one of your “conservative” government agencies doing it. Such was the case for those who followed Christ before us.
“Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated—of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.” Hebrews 11:36-40
In Christ’s Service, Bill Whatcott
