BBC NEWS | Americas | US Church backs same-sex marriage
The UCC (United Church of Christ) has passed a resolution in support of gay marriage. It’s a “mainline” denomination – mostly of the Congregational flavor. They’re running the well-received “God is still speaking, you’re welcome here” ads.
My own national church will be running some pretty cool ads in August. Yay us! The mainline churches are starting to take that light out from under the bushel at last.
But we still have to get over the general ickiness of talking to people about church stuff. I’m as guilty of this as anyone when it comes to handing out flyers or asking businesses for coupons or donations of stuff for fundraisers.
Icky. But anyway, well done UCC. Good on you!
Ooh. Nice ECUSA “ad” site, even if I’m not a fan of Flash. Certainly a nice motto.
We’re trying to figure out what we need to do to get ready. Supposedly we’ll see an influx of visitors after the ads start running. We don’t have the funds for running companion ads of our own, though.
