United Church of Christ minister: Planned Parenthood Does “Sacred Work” of “Love” and “Justice”
Clinic Quotes ^ | August 23, 2014 | Sarah Terzo

Posted on 12/15/2014 9:40:59 PM PST by Morgana

Tom Davis, who is an ordained minister with the United Church of Christ and a chaplain and professor at Skidmore College:

“I contend that Planned Parenthood is engaged in a form of sacred work, the work, that is, of securing reproductive justice for women… Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is thoroughly secular. But when it comes to the issue of sacred work, that doesn’t matter. The scripture is clear about one thing: sacred work, the work of justice, is sacred no matter who does it.… In the biblical view, sacred work is love, and in practical social realities, sacred work is justice.”

Tom Davis Sacred Work: Planned Parenthood and Its Clergy Alliances (New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 2005) 6 – 7

Some denominations have been pretty much complete taken over by enemies of God. I am not saying that is true of every member. But those power spots within the denomination are lost. The members either revolt or follow. In this case, mostly they have followed.

Pretty much. Can’t understand why people in this man’s church would put up with this. Why don’t they run him off and get a pro life, Godly preacher? It is just beyond me. If nothing else just find a new church. This one is not the only game in town. If they are not going to follow Jesus, don’t follow them to hell.

Killing humans is “sacred?”

United Church of Christ has been AWOL on biblical truth for a long time. There remain a few members oblivious to that fact, but it is fact nonetheless.

I know nothing about them. Sorry to hear their members do not know either. Is it kinda like the pcusa in terms of going bad?

Tenured pseudo Christian. He would starve if he actually needed to be supported by a real congregation. Just an evil man despite his collar.

By the way....There are churches that say “Church of Christ” and some that say “United Church of Christ” in my area. Are they the same thing? How do I tell a difference? Thanks.

Sadly a lot of churches get the minister they want or deserve - I imagine a good deal of his congregation are right behind him.

What sort of twisted evil is inside this man. This is pretty much the sickest thing I have ever heard. To call the most debase sort of human savagery “Sacred” is wanton evil!

United Church of Christ {not to be confused with the Conservative Church of Christ denomination} also is the church that the group “Americans for Separation of church and state” Executive Director Barry Lynn is a minister in.

Christians in name only. I’ve never understood people who insist on wearing a label they know doesn’t describe them.

“What does he have to say about Charles Manson?”

I have a feeling he’s going to be the minister at Charlie’s wedding to his bride Star.

Totally different denominations. Obama’s church pastored by Jeremiah Wright, Trinity United, is part of United Church of Christ. They attempt to use the Bible to preach their Marxism.
