Earlier today we shared how St. Boniface had announced that they would be moving forward with an event that has become quite polarizing online. You can read that post below.
In the (now deleted) post the brewery defended the decision to host the group saying the following:
“we are being asked to discriminate against his group by people groups who continually promote inclusion.“
“I am sure that many have noticed that Pennsylvania itself has strong Christian roots that extend back to its founding. Indeed many people in our community would even consider themselves to be Christians who believe and live by what are considered to be “Biblical principles.” Being that the county itself has hundreds of churches, we were woefully unaware that living by and promoting that standard of living is considered to be “extremist behavior,” please forgive us for that oversight.
Our company believes in inclusivity for everyone, including Christians. We reject all forms of white nationalism, racism, bigotry and homophobia.
As of this writing, no additional statements have been made by the Central PA area brewery. As more information is made available, we will continue to update.
