Church employment
After losing my job a few years ago, I have been struggling with depression and unemployment. If I were to apply for a job at a Salvation Army thrift store, would it be considered unionism? (cashier or other retail work involved in the operation of the thrift store). Thanks for helping me sort this through.
Providing a service and receiving compensation for that service would not be considered unionism. There is a difference between the kind of employment you mention and a person joining in the worship services of the church or promoting the church’s teachings.
Your conscience of course is something to keep in mind. The Bible instructs us not to act against our conscience (Romans 14:23). You may find it helpful to consult with your pastor in this regard.
God grant you help and healing in your struggles.
