Apostate George Gardner is Dying from Cancer
Served as Tiller the Killer’s “Priest of Baal”
Wichita, Kansas - May 27, 2004 Operation Rescue West has learned that apostate minister George Gardner, 68, of the Unity Church of Wichita, has lung cancer, which has spread to his brain and lymph nodes. Gardner’s condition is regarded as very serious. He is currently in California seeking a holistic cure to his terminal illness. Gardner has previously survived two bouts with prostate cancer but chances for his cure this time are unfavorable.
Gardner gained national infamy in the employment of late-term abortionist George Tiller where he served as abortion mill chaplain. There, he provided spiritual covering for child-killing, in direct opposition to Biblical revelation, and baptized the broken remains of pre-born children killed at Tiller’s abortion mill, Women’s Health Care Services, in Wichita, Kansas. Gardner has referred to his work at Tiller’s abortion mill as his “most profound” work ever.
As part of Operation Rescue West’s “Year of the Rebuke” campaign ORW has conducted evangelical outreaches at Gardner’s “church” and has pled with him on numerous occasions to abandon his heresies and turn to Jesus Christ alone for forgiveness and salvation. The “Year of the Rebuke” couples prayer with action — praying for a Holy and Just God to intervene in the affairs of men to stop child-killing, praying for clinic workers to disassociate with the abortion industry, and praying for the repentance and salvation of each one, all the while exposing their connections to abortion to their friends, family, neighbors, and community at large.
Gardner’s departure from WHCS is an answer to those prayers and is one of a recent flood of employees and businesses to abandon Tiller’s abortion enterprise in the past two months. Clinic manager Carrie Klaege left under pressure from ORW after repeated prayer walks in her neighborhood. At least two other employees have terminated their employment as well. One cab company has stopped delivering women to Tiller’s mill to kill their babies.
“We give God the Glory in these recent victories,” said ORW President Troy Newman. “We have prayed according to God’s will, that those associated with child-killing in any capacity will stop participating in the murders of innocent pre-born babies. And we are seeing answers to those prayers almost daily.”
More resembling a priest of Baal, than a Christian, Gardner has publicly defended the sin of abortion on numerous occasions and is a founder of the Wichita Chapter of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. In fact, Gardner considers himself a “Zen Buddist Hindu with Christian overtones.” He rejects the authority of the Bible and supports gay marriages.
Gardner fled to the Unity Church after being defrocked by College Hill United Methodist Church in 2002 due to an adulterous affair that led to Gardner’s own marriage ending in divorce.
“Although we find Gardner’s illness and suffering tragic, we see a sense of God’s justice being measured out in an ironic sort of way since Gardner has participated in the suffering of thousands of innocent children,” said Newman. “In the short time that Gardner has left before he stands before God to give an account for his wicked life, we encourage continued prayer for his repentance and salvation.”

By your twisted logic, Brad Bennett’s recently deceased mother is being punished by God. Illness and death are a part of life. Rev. George Gardner has lived a long and fruitful life and will leave behind only goodness when he departs this world. You, on the other hand, will have left nothing but bitterness and hate. We all have to die. My hope is that I will leave the world a better place when it’s my turn to go. I have educated generations of students, not to agree with me, but to think for themselves. I have raised three wonderful, responsible children who have given their best back to the world and who are raising my beautiful grandchildren to be loving, giving people.
When your time comes to die, you will understand that death is a natural part of life. For those of us who lived well, there is no fear. For people like you, hell is real because your deeds merit your going there.
You are an amoral, empty vessel taking up space on the earth.

diane
your comments make zero sense.
on one hand you say that death is “natural”.
well, do you consider it natural for a so-called “doctor” to take a knife and slice a living human being into pieces?
you may have raised three kids, but i shudder to think of the values you have taught them, if you think that those who justify the wanton slaughter of innocent children, in the name of God no less, leave behind “only goodness” when they depart this world. and the fact that you can’t bring yourself to condemn those who glorify and make money off the exploitation of women, by tearing their babies limb from limb, but you will condemn people who are standing up for the least of these, is a schizophrenic in the extreme.
the article did not imply that this man is dying from cancer because he is a baby killing advocate, it simply said that prayers to thwart the efforts of those who participate in this holocaust could conceivably be answered in this way. for whatever reason people leave the baby killing business, we can rejoice.
if you read the article fully, you would’ve seen that part of the effort was to pray for the salvation and repentance of this miserable old sinner, who thinks it is God’s will for him to baptise babies who’ve just been slaughtered, but not to condemn the act that killed those babies.
we do not wish ill will on anyone, simply that they turn from their wicked ways. sometimes it takes a catostrophic illness to cause a person to change their ways.
but your remarks are wrought with amazing bitterness and hate for your fellow man, while you sling those same words at the people who truly care about the unborn, their mothers, and yes, even those godless people who participate in the killing of these precious babies.
may you search your heart, diane - if you’re honest, you’ll find that your opinions are not logical or morally founded. to call someone “amoral”, when YOU support tearing babies limb from limb, is patently absurd and morally bankrupt.

The Bible says in Galatians 6:7–”Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” George Gardner has sown a life of lies, unbelief and rebellion against the ways of God. He is reaping that which he has sown. May he be a lesson to us all. May we live lives of TRUE faith and obedience; honoring and glorifying Jesus Christ our Master and King. A note to Troy, Cheryl and everyone: Keep fighting the fight of faith and doing the Lord’s work for the unborn children. Keep up the good work and don’t be discouraged. The Lord is with you!

‘I have educated generations of students
Apparently, she is a teacher….now you and many others see why some two million people have decided to homeschool. It’s moral relativism and it has permeated our schools and brainwashed “generations” of children. No longer is there a right or wrong. It’s what feels good or easy that’s important. Not surprising that she is a school teacher. I find most school teachers to be in the socialistic mold…Lord save us. Lord save the children who will die because this woman helped to mold them to do what feels good instead of do what is right.

I dont believe that Diane said that she thought that slicing babies was right or wrong. She only said that she did not think that cancer was the way that god would punish someone for their sins. It doesnt make any since. What have the thousands of children with cancer done to deserve it? If your reasoning stood, Jerry, they must have done some really awful things in their short lives OR perhaps their PARENTS were sinners, ya that must be it!

d
i wasn’t expressing the “logic” that you ascribe to me…i was responding to a previous post.
read my post carefully…. here is the exact text which i’ve cut and pasted for you
“the article did not imply that this man is dying from cancer because he is a baby killing advocate, it simply said that prayers to thwart the efforts of those who participate in this holocaust could conceivably be answered in this way. for whatever reason people leave the baby killing business, we can rejoice.
if you read the article fully, you would’ve seen that part of the effort was to pray for the salvation and repentance of this miserable old sinner, who thinks it is God’s will for him to baptise babies who’ve just been slaughtered, but not to condemn the act that killed those babies.
we do not wish ill will on anyone, simply that they turn from their wicked ways. sometimes it takes a catostrophic illness to cause a person to change their ways.”
now, how do you get what you implied from that?
think a little bit before you insert foot in mouth.

It has been nearly 2 months since the last posted comment, and I wonder how George Gardner is doing.
August 12th, 2004 at 11:40 pm
George Gardner married my wife and I 22 years ago. His message that we are all unique has stayed with me since then. I don’t know why he felt a connection with Tiller but I beleive that the people who were in crisis were glad he was there. He did not judge. There is all kinds of sin. Kindness is not one of them.

Apathy is. So is murder.
