And this was in Orange County, CA.

My god mother is an Episcopal pastor and my sister in law is a Lutheran pastor. Even in my pretty red county these particular churches are very open to EVERYBODY. I have yet to be in a Methodist, Lutheran, or Episcopal church that does not value all human life. I know there are ones that do not but I have not had the misfortune to be in one.

I grew up Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, which would not be so welcoming. And then there's the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which thinks the LCMS is too liberal.

Resistance to the recent St. Louis decisions is growing steadily. Thanks for posting some bold examples.

What makes you think a Jew who lived 2000 years ago would approve?

Because he's really really god or something?
