Dad has been banned from his church

[whataboutbob]

Just found out from his carers they have been asked not to bring him anymore. I knew he could be restless , get up during service and pick random stuff up. The carers were only taking him for short periods. He has been a church goer for as long as I can remember. I am considering double checking all facts and sending the church a letter of complaint. I would have thought they d show a little more compassion. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

If he does remember what church is, it may be worth seeing if the vicar will do home visits once in a while, possibly with communion.

I recommend talking to the vicar. This will give you the real ground truth on how welcome your df is. It could be that despite the carers' discomfort your father is very iwelcome and valued. If the services are difficult I'm sure the vicar will visit to provide communion.

Do talk to the vicar about how your dad can keep in touch if he can no longer manage services. I expect they do have ways of doing this eg home communion.

When I was a student my church had a scheme to match up students with elderly housebound folk who could not get to church any more. I used to visit a lovely lady every few weeks for a cup of tea and a chat and I would read the bible to her as she was blind. I still treasure a little dish she gave me when I got married (she gave me something of hers as she couldn't get out to the shops) and I went to her funeral when she finally passed away. Maybe your dad's church have something similar?
