Summary

What's up with the Methodist Church ordaining gay pastors? Can a Christian recite the Pledge of Allegiance—and what does the Bible say about church membership? I'll be addressing these questions and commenting on an alarming and un-American action being taken by some local Republican party leaders to silence voices during a primary in order to push one candidate to the front. Will it work? I think not.

During happy hour, I'm answering your VIP emails, giving updates (and pictures!) on our move to a new building and offering some encouragement regarding how to talk to friends about the issue of transgenderism.
