The Horror!

Some naive soul in College
Christian Fellowship posted this:

“Hey guys, what do you think of this website?”

“Do you think this is Biblical, or are the scriptures being taken out of context?”

“http://christiansagainstbush.bravehost.com”

This question is representative of the evangelical mindset I’ve been encountering
a lot of lately. To be Christian is to support Bush. To suggest otherwise to them is
scandalous. *sigh* I can name plenty of good Christians who don’t support George
“War is Peace” Bush – and I don’t mean the wishy-washy kind that think
gay marriage, abortion, cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and euthanasia are
good ideas.

I sympathize with this group well. Sadly, the Roman Catholic Church may someday need their
services.

Conservative
Group Amplifies Voice of Protestant Orthodoxy

“As Presbyterians prepare to gather for their General Assembly in Richmond, Va.,
next month, a band of determined conservatives is advancing a plan to split the
church along liberal and orthodox lines. Another divorce proposal shook the United
Methodist convention in Pittsburgh earlier this month, while conservative Episcopalians
have already broken away to form a dissident network of their own.”

I hope the orthodox/traditional Methodists win out over the heterodox/progressive
elements.

Methodists
Order Review of Lesbian Case
By JOE MANDAK, Associated Press Writer

PITTSBURGH – United Methodists ordered their top court to review the case of a lesbian
pastor after the court ruled Saturday that gay sex violates Christian teaching.

The denomination’s General Conference voted 551-345 to direct the Judicial Council to review the case of the Rev. Karen Dammann, whose avowed homosexuality led to church charges of committing practices “incompatible with Christian teaching.”

“The highest court in the United Methodist Church ruled yesterday that church law
unambiguously says the practice of homosexuality is ‘incompatible with Christian
teaching’ and a ‘chargeable offense’ for Methodist ministers.”
