To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Rev. Margaret Elizabeth Rodgers, Mdiv. I obtained my Master of Divinity, Chaplaincy Specialization in 2014 from Seattle University’s School of Theology and Ministry. I am ordained through the Universal Life Church, effective July 29th, 2019. I am requesting a religious exemption for the COVID19 vaccine for the following sincerely held religious beliefs:
- Sacred Consent
The Scriptures of my religion function as an account of my personal God’s struggle to have a relationship with human beings who are free to reject the offer. This divinely-given, inalienable Right should not be infringed upon by the powers and principalities of the created world. I object to taking the COVID19 vaccine under duress as an affront to my personal God.
Isaiah 6:8 – Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Mark 8:34 – Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said:“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
Luke 1:38 – “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
- Code of Life
Throughout the known world, every single living life form is determined through Deoxyribo-nucleic Acids (DNA). There are 4 nucleic acids that always match in exact pairs, twisted in a double helix that is visible to the naked eye when not super-coiled to fit inside a cell. This DNA codes all proteins for an organism through the mechanism of transcription from DNA to RNA to mRNA to proteins. The COVID19 vaccines are brand new medical technology that utilizes either DNA or mRNA produced in a laboratory to hack the body’s organic transcription process and force the production of “spike proteins.” There is no indication of the long term effects, especially generational, of introducing a laboratory produced life code into human beings. Tampering with the Code of Life is an affront to my personal God.
Genesis 1:27 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Psalm 139:13 – For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Acts 17:29 – Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.
- Divine Feminine
As stated in II., COVID19 vaccines hack organic transcription to force the body to produce “spike proteins.” It has NOT been thoroughly researched and observed over time how this may affect tissues that have similar bio-chemistry to the spike proteins. One such tissue is the placenta. If COVID19 vaccines work as intended, there is risk that a placenta will be seen as a foreign invader and attacked by the body. COVID19 vaccines should not even be offered to women of child bearing age at this time due to this astronomically high, unknown risk. Reproduction is procreation and a divinely-given Blessing to all living forms. To mandate a medical treatment that is too new to have answered the placenta question puts entire generations of women at risk for increased miscarriages and infertility. This is an affront to my personal God.
Genesis 1:12 – The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:22 – God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.
Genesis 1:24 – And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:28 – God blessed them and said to them,“Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.
