The elders of our church could see this coming about nine years ago, so we divorced the UCC and went with a scripture based church. That year many more congregations also left due to the homosexual issue and women being ordained.

IN the ‘80’s, the Pentecostal pastors of the NY mega-church i attended called the Epicopalians, “God’s Frozen People — they won’t do a thing, but they will stand for anything.”

In this case, i think it fits.

Our faiths demand care for those marginalized by poverty and other oppressions. Faith leaders have supported Planned Parenthood for nearly 100 years because of our shared goals: every person — regardless of income, race, or religion — deserves access to safe, affordable, high-quality health care.”

Here is another bastardization of language. In doing abortions, Planned Parenthood provides no "health care". Nothing is treated, there is no disease, and nothing is accomplished to prevent illness.

In no respect is abortion health care or a medical service.

Jeffrey Walton from the Institute on Religion and Democracy reports that the board is made up of religious leaders from the United Church of Christ, Episcopal Church and American Baptist Churches as well as clergy from Reformed Jewish and Unitarian Universalist congregations.

Quite a diverse group of heretics.

Does this mean funding Planned Parenthood violates separation of church and state?

Now THAT is a good question! The ritual serving Molech/church of satanic ways should not be funded by the state, eh?

Since many of these groups esp. the Episcopalians and UCC leftists supported the Black Panther Party and the Viet Cong/North Vietnamese, supporting a killing machine organization today is just a continuation of “their good works” over the decades.

Nobody at my parish knew I was gone...until the quarterly pledge receipts were tallied, and there was a zero by my name. Then the phone calls came. “Are you OK?” to me translated to “Is your money OK?”

Good for you folks. This is pure evil. Sadly in fact, many of the ‘adherents’ of the UU and UCC churches in my area treat their church as a club and really get no moral guidance out of it. Many churches would not have their buildings were it not for long ago congregations; they simply don’t have the financial wherewithal for anything more than torpor and stasis.

They are happily misconstruing Jesus’ words of “Suffer the little children to come onto me”.

The priests of Baal are still around. Jezebel too. Actually there are lots of Jezebels, just as there are lots of anti-christs.
