In reply to Ed.

Ed if it comes to that then I hope that Churches REJECT this unchrist like action & resign from the Mo. Synod. When I was a youth we sang in church the following song that for me defined what it meant to be a christian:
We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit
We are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity
May one day be restored
And they'll know we are Christians
By our love, By our love
Yes, they'll know we are Christians
By our love
We will walk with each other
We will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other
We will walk hand in hand
And together we'll spread the news
That God is in our land
We will work with each other
We will work side by side
We will work with each other
We will work side by side
And we'll guard each man's dignity
And save each man's pride
All praise to the Father
From whom all things come
And all praise to Christ Jesus His only son
And all praise to the Spirit
Who makes us one
Make us one, Lord!
Make us one, Lord!

Somewhere we have forgotten God is LOVE. Greed & HATE is a SIN we have turned outr backs on Jesus' Teachings in favor of Satan's temptations.

If as Christians we are to treat EVERYONE as we would like to be treated as well as Love for our brother then we CAN NOT stay on this path of HATE & GREED.
