this is what i'm talking about

some of you have heard me talk about how distressing it is to know that some churches operate as places of judgment and exclusion instead behaving, well, LIKE CHRISTIANS. this article shows a perfect example of that. what's worse is that they didn't even bother talking to the people, they just looked at them, and called the authorities.

is this how Christ would welcome people in to his house?

grrrrrr.

In some ways, that's really funny. I mean, can't you picture some little old church ladies flipping their blue wigs over that?

On the other hand, it is pretty sad. At least this was one case that the "discrimination" was rather blatant. Most times, it's not and that's the stuff that is really harmful.

I could tell you such stories...
