In the meantime, I hope the members of the megachurch who are in the closet, come out and march out, right out of the church. Great post. Thanks for reminding me not to hate that preacher. It would be real easy . . . That pastor will have to answer to God. In the meantime, I hope the members of the megachurch who are in the closet, come out and march out, right out of the church.

Unfortunately, that place is often a battle ground beyond compare with those who would like you to believe they are more righteous leading the minnions into the fray.

Seems to me for the church, it was about the church. Maybe a Navy man's funeral would be good PR. This is a great lesson in how faith is about individuals seeking together, not corporations saving face. Jesus was all about rethinking the rules in favor of the human being. This church invites us to reconsider that lesson. To be so fearful of gays...well. T megachurch deserves compassion, too. Happy BYB Sunday. Janie,
