President Obama was criticized by Republicans for attending a church led by Jeremiah Wright, who repeatedly criticized the United States for being, in his own opinion, an evil terrorist nation. People wondered, how could Obama sit through sermons like that, year after year? Didn't that mean that at the very least, Obama didn't have any serious problems with what Wright was saying?
Well, we saw after eight years of Obama that that was probably true – that Obama saw America in a bad light. That's why he kept trying to "fundamentally transform" it.
But what about Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch? He belongs to a far-left church that embraces marriage redefinition, gun control, and the theory of man-caused global warming.
He belongs to St. John's Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colo., the Episcopal diocese of Colorado confirmed on Wednesday. Church bulletins show that the judge has been an usher three times in recent months. His wife Louise frequently leads the intercessory prayer and reads the weekly Scripture at Sunday services, and his daughters assist in ceremonial duties during church services as acolytes.
The first word that St. John's uses to describe itself on its website and Facebook page is "inclusive," and the church is led by a female rector. On its website, the church encourages members to write letters to Congress asking for actions addressing climate change.
That's not all. Its website also calls for members to lobby their congressmen for more gun control.
Rev. Susan Springer has said she is pro-gay marriage and offers blessings to same-sex couples
The church's Rev. Ted Howard also signed a letter slamming the 'disrespectful rhetoric' directed at Islam as Trump floated a ban on Muslim immigrants[.] ...

I don’t know anything about his personal beliefs regarding church but so many people I know attend a church that believes one way yet attendees believe/support the opposite.
So do I. (I’m Catholic)
The church he goes to will tell you what kind of judge you will get.
How did that get past the vetting committee?...........
No, I am not. Judge Gorsuch’s record of ruling based only on law and facts is exceptionally solid.
This & criticizing Trump, make me think we will have another Kennedy or O’Connor.
RE: How did that get past the vetting committee?...........
The vetting still continues... he’s not confirmed yet.
Here in The South we have ‘Baptists’ of every shape, color, size and whatever beliefs...............
RE: So do I. (I’m Catholic)
I don’t think your church supports abortion and gay marriage.
Although I know that Francis is a greenie and socialist.
So the democrats should have an easy time confirming him????
Maybe this was a way to get the magical 60 votes.................
As an Orthodox Christian who is a former ELCA Lutheran, I have many friends who are stuck in liberal parishes for various reasons. So I am not so concerned about Neil Gorsuch’s liberal parish.
RE: This & criticizing Trump, make me think we will have another Kennedy or O’Connor.
He did it in private and it was an expression of concern, not an attack. The fact that it was leaked is not his fault.
Bet the church still proclaims GOD BLESS AMERICA
You’re right.
But, liberals love to get conservatives fighting each other, especially on a SCOTUS nominee.
It seems to me that religion has become a bastion of the human ego instead of, or along with, a certain belief in the Almighty.
This is disconcerting new.
RE: Maybe this was a way to get the magical 60 votes.................
It won’t work.
I’m not worried at all,because he was a founder of the “Future Fascists of America”—(hahahha)let his Dem interrogators ignore the Church and keep harping on the college fun. They’ll be on the horns of a dilemma with this one.
I objected when people dug into the PERSONAL lives of Clarence Thomas. Even dug into the type of books he checked out of the library. Stop the witch hunt.
Sarah Palin was criticized by the left for attending an evangelical church. GASP. Stop the witch hunt.
I’m interested in Gorsuch’s opinions not his church.
