I’m in the early stages of reeling in a family of Baptists who are horrified that suddenly the Baptist Churches in town are going on an Anti-Catholic kick.
I am on the Life Chain Committee at our parish.
After Katrina, ALL of the local churches put together a well organized program for how to care for the evacuees. Rotated feeding, no duplicate programs and so on. One month later when Life Chain occurred less than 1/2 of one percent of these Churches participated.
Until two years ago one of the signatories on the letter that goes out to all churches was a Baptist minister. That year he called to ask that his name be removed from a letter promoting a Pro-Life function. This was because his fellowship of Baptist ministers that he met with regularly pressured him into it. One of the excuses he gave was that it would cost him money in the collection plate if he continued to be involved with Catholics. And this guy wasn’t even a fundamentalist.
