Things that make you say ... 'hhmmmm'

"As one of the saints of old has said, "Truth is never truth if it is on the side of oppression." To that I would add, Christianity is not of Christ if it is abusive to those whose lifestyles and views may differ from their own."

—The Rev. Dr. Douglass M. Bailey

    I once had a friend who attended a certain church...when she began having problems in her life, the church asked her to leave...now that's christianity, eh?

    Judy: That's one of the reasons I walked away from the fundamentalist faith I grew up in. I have been able to renew my faith within the Episcopal Church.

    Amen and amen, Aho!, and Blessed Be! The Reverand Dr. Bailey...and my Booful Sis...are wise and warm and loving. I like to think the Christ I've learned about would approve.
