According to this, a Rev. Bowen of Christ Church Unity in Kansas City decided his congregation did too much complaining.

He said churchgoers were griping mainly about trivial things, such as the choice of hymns at the Sunday service or the informal dress code at the church’s Saturday night worship.

There's just soooo much to say to that but I'll keep it brief. First, it's dismissive. Second, way to squelch not only dissention but also discussion of any kind. If I were in that congregation, I'd be looking to fire that pastor.
Surely now of all times in this country is not the moment to shut the hell up. Put on a purple bracelet and promise to give up my right to free speech for 21 days? Oh, and pay Oprah for the privilege while you're at it.
What a concept.
