There was a place in my college town called The United Church. It was a mixture of three mainline denominations. One Sunday morning, I was listening to the radio. Their Sunday service was on and they were welcoming new members.
It went something like this: John Smith is welcomed as a Methodist. Sally Thomas is welcomed as an Episcopalian...
That’s all I knew or needed to know about that place.
I went to a tag sale at one of these churches, and I saw a sign on the wall in the area where kids take classes that said:
“Nobody can tell you what is right or wrong. You must decide that on your own.”
I was flabbergasted. I just stood and stared at it. I think if you wanted to impart long reaching and deep damage on a child, that is what you would tell them.
