“The Chosen” creator and director Dallas Jenkins addressed social media controversy after his show was called out for having a “pride” flag on set.

“We have made very clear from the beginning that there is no religious or political litmus test for our cast and crew, for anyone who is qualified to help us, help me tell this story,” Jenkins told the Christian Post in a currently broken article (cited by Christian Headlines). “We are not a church in which all of our employees are going to fit under one particular mission statement, one particular belief system.”

Legal Decision?

Considering how libel Jenkins and Angel Studios would be if they didn’t hire from all demographics, his response is probably the least likely to get him in any legal trouble. More than that, isn’t the purpose of faith to show unconditional love and live without judgement? (LEARN MORE: ‘I Will Not Deny My Faith’: Huge Actor Speaks Out About Religion In Hollywood)

“When it comes to their personal belief systems, or what they want to wear or whatever, we’re not going to do what we’ve seen other people do, where sometimes you’ll see a Christian not allowed to wear a hat or express themselves or put a sticker on their desk that expresses their beliefs. And we always think that that’s unfortunate when an employer does something like that. We’re not going to do the same in reverse,” Jenkins noted.
