There are liberal churches/segments of all religious faiths. As much as it makes my blood boil.
True, but churches that are known to be "liberal" are denominations like Unitarians and United Church of Christ. The church he attended (Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, KS) is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) branch of Lutherans. We always hear that "Evangelical" churches are supposedly so conservative and don't tolerant abortionists and gay marriage in their ranks, etc. Apparently not in this case.
