Upon being forced to resign only a day after being appointed CEO of the Essendon Football Club, Andrew Thorburn stated tellingly that his “personal Christian faith is not tolerated or permitted in the public square.”

They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.

One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
