Thompson’s United Church of Christ supports gay marriage:
Please stop whatever witch hunt you’re on. The article does not say he attends the United Church of Christ. It says he and Jeri were married in the United church of Christ in Naperville. Perhaps that was the only church available for the date they wanted...I don’t know! Do you??
He may have been married there but he was never a member there. It isn’t the same as the church where he grew up or the church where his mother attends and he attends with her.
I’m sure that the United Church of Christ probably does support gay marriage. That is why the church of Christ has had splits. The conservatives and Disciples of Christ split around the time of the Civil War.
You’re on the wrong path with this and you’re wrong about Fred being a part of that.
Plus one more point. The church that Fred grew up in and where his mother goes do not have a Synod or headquarters or any central organization. Each congregation is autonomous and governs its own affairs. Part of the reason for the split back in the day.
