that's pretty good! Shows the black and white thinking about religion sometimes seen is not really accurate.

You've convinced, Tx!

I already edited.. Mahalo so much for letting us know.. and look at all the positive reaction even though if was not a "real" sign. the Church didn't do it.. but someone was a brilliant observer!

But we do have a "Come as you are" banner on the side of the church. We have lots of gay and lesbian singles and couples, and their families have the same standing as anyone else's. We should have some nice weddings now that prop H8 is gone.

I'm watching BBC America where they just had a commercial saying, ahem, "signed the petition to fire Boner because he refuse to defund Obamacare and go after the President on BENGHAZI".

It also said it made them sick that he's doing that. How effed up is that? These people are the ones SICK.

Yet the good thing is, there are some churches that are on the right side of things, with gay marriage and gay clergy.

just not this Church. But, from reading the thread.. the Episcopal Church is definitely the one to use for their internet sign.

And many Episcopal congregations would be fully capable of showing that message.

I've tried to keep a memory collection of funny/weird signs. While I won't go the trouble of duplicating it, a huge one I saw in front of a Southern Baptist church years ago had the church name and the pastor's in big bold letters, plus the title of the day's message. Then in little bitty tiny letters at the bottom, barely visible, it said "Christ the Savior"
