Rev. Christopher Thoma
“Go to church. And take your children. Yes, yes, I know that in general children are not very good at listening or sitting still, and this can make worship very challenging. Still, I say go to church—and take your kids—because, for the record, there is something that children do magnificently. They imitate adults. “ – Rev. Christopher Thoma

"I am not in favor of the legislature getting involved in mask mandates of any kind. I believe in personal responsibility and bodily autonomy for every individual as we each decide what is best for us. I would rather that the Governor hold firm to not allowing mandates and to leave the decisions up to the people." Rep. Strong (VT Daily Chronicle)
