My kids went to a Methodist school about 4 years ago...we had an unfortunate incident that I won't get into here (too involved) but it became clear that this particular church was lefty, lefty, lefty...and they lost many families and church members because of it....
At my husband's Episcopal church (Catholic lite)..they have a sign on one wall showing the growth of the church over the years with important historical markers (ie. WWII, Vietnam etc.)
Under the current Iraqi Freedom spot it says "invasion of Iraq" instead....
I think that that palce is a serpent's pit any way (for personal reasons) but that sign PISSED ME OFF...and so far, the hubby hasn't addressed it...it isn't my church so I just take deep breaths on the occasions I have to go there...ugggghhh
Episcopal churches. Yeah, around here it pretty much depends on the individual church. Mine is fairly liberal, but conservative enough that I'm not uncomfortable.
That would be OK if it also says "Invasion of Europe" around June of 1944. We do speak of the Normandy Invasion, although recently "Normandy Landings" has become more common. I believe the headlines for June 6, 1944 Said "INVASION", in type so large the single word went clear across the page in some cases.
