...When I think of the Exodus story I can’t help but see Charlton Heston leading a cast of thousands out of a movie-set Egypt. One day there are millions of the Hebrew children in Egypt and a few days later, not one. The removal of Christian families from public schools will not be that way.
Think instead of an oppressed minority leaving a repressive political regime. A few get out early, others need a more urgent threat, others escape through some kind of underground rescue movement, dogs baying in the background. Some will stay too long. I’m convinced that we’ll leave, not as a denomination or as churches or even as a faith, but as refugees whose alarms go off according to different sensitivities. Eventually we’ll all leave public education or wish we had.

I was just mentioning where spun the phrase from. Heck, I can barely do modern English grammar. Please don’t make me do Old English grammar.
where they spun the phrase from...
But he never "stood in their way". My children, like myself, are sinners standing in the Way that is Jesus. Besides, I think that most of the time, the sinners came to Jesus. He never joined them in their sins, he never asked for their counsel or tutelege. He never subjected himself to them as a student or employee, but he brought them to repentance. There is no example of Jesus ever entering the temple of a false god, and he went before Pilate and Herod, only under compulsion.
good points all.
i sometimes feel it a little too much for my church, but they’re so right on about everything else (except beer...)
