I remember the discussions in what amounted to adult Sunday school about abortion. Only two people, myself and a nurse objected. It was stunning. The pastor was smart enough to keep his cards to himself. My break was more theological though, I wanted to find a pastor who believed in God.
I think it no coincidence that abortion comes to mind in this context. Looking back, the appeasement of the abortionists may have been, if not the first crack in the vessel of orthodoxy and traditional values, perhaps the most destructive.
