But we believe that this ad is dishonest and insulting to other Christian churches. It violates the UCC’s stated commitment to respectful ecumenical dialogue.

It is troubling to think that the UCC would chose to insult other Christians for holding different Biblical views as their major method of TV outreach in light of our current cultural climate of debate and discernment. Certainly they could have found a better way to present themselves rather than mocking others in this way.

He disagreed with the ad’s theological content and added his own comment:

‘Jesus didn't turn people away,’ he sought to turn them around from sin and death and toward holiness and righteousness through the power of faith in the living God.

All comments right on the money. I'm glad other churches arefighting back against UCC's ecumeical incivility as well as theological error.

I am proud of Pastor Baker's comments. The liberals in the ELCA are going to tear this synod apart this next year!

I predict that they will force through the homosexual agenda and it will result in many Lutheran Churches breaking away to form the American Lutheran Church.

Pastor Baker's last statement about what Jesus was really about collides head-on with the liberals charge for moral relativism. I would like to see us out of the UCC for good!
