xz -- who is this nut? Rev. Gregory Gross, a deacon who organized the campaign. "Our civil society has taken the lead. Now the church is trying to catch up."

I just can't fathom what is going through the minds of these guys.

Trying to catch up to the world eh...wide road indeed.

I don’t know who this deacon is, but I do know that Northern Illinois is a lost, unbelieving conference. Their former bishop, Joseph Sprague, forced a conservative pastor friend of mine out of the denomination....not officially, but nonetheless true. Sprague led them down the path to hell and ruined that conference, probably for generations.

Many tried to bring Sprague to trial, but he always played spin-doctor with his answers and was unwilling to say for the official record what he’d said in other places.

How does gay marriage hurt me?

It is a negative, sea-change in the society in which we are trying to rear healthy, rational children.

It has my government endorsing disease by endorsing major vectors of disease.

It endorses the recruitment of the young to a deadly lifestyle, because homosexuality only endures through recruitment.
