For those of you who decry the possibility of a faith-fueled take over here in the Commonwealth, consider the firing of an unwed mother from Staples Mill Road Baptist Church.

Yes, Apryl Kellam is pregnant and unmarried and her church just fired her. Because nothing says the “love of Christ” like firing an unwed expecting mother.
Kellam had worked at the church since September, and was told by her Pastor/boss she “needed to get married or set a date” if she wanted to keep her job. She never set a date because, ya know, it’s none of their goddamned business. And now she’s claiming this is what got her fired.
Yea, we’re pretty amazed and pissed too.
Pastor James Booth heads the West End house of worship, and he defended (yea, defended) his actions, telling CBS “They don’t know our heart. We’re not trying to be hurtful, we’re just following our personnel handbook, which is rooted in our statement of faith and our biblical beliefs.”
