For the members of the Mayflower Church, which sits at the corner of Diamond Lake Road and 35W and is part of the United Church of Christ, the energy project fit right into its historically liberal mission. It was among the first denominations to accept female and gay clergy. Mayflower considers itself a church of big dreams — symbolized by the giant dream catcher sculpture hanging from the roof of the sanctuary — and it does not dream humbly, said Campbell.

As a delegate to the World Council of Churches, Campbell was among those who persuaded the group to sign a letter to President Obama urging him to say no to the Keystone Pipeline proposed for carrying Canadian oil across the middle of the United States. At its annual synod last year, the United Church of Christ agreed to divest itself of all investments in fossil fuels and to adopt a goal of carbon neutrality.

“Humility is a nice trait. But when you are doing justice, it does not work well,” she said. “And church organizations can be powerful ways to create change.”

Sounds like an indoctrination center rubberstamped "church" by a lesbian propaganda minister.

Kinda on your side. Those parishioners will believe anything... or is it a (D) HQ in disguise?

Maybe they can have Daryl Hanna come do a special chant and dance for Gaia.

"Yes, Christ (the historical male sometimes erroneously referred to as the Son of God), would prefer not using oil at all, but he obviously would prefer tank cars over pipelines if Our True Savior and True Son of God, Obama, is OK with it." /s, fake quote
