Only Righteous Welcome

Minister at N.C. Baptist Convention on homosexuality issue: “But if we’re going to start asking everybody about everything going on in their lives . . . where are we going to stop? What about divorce? Are we going to narrow it down so only the ‘righteous’ can come?” ~Nancy H. McLaughlin, “Baptists Could Make History with ‘Sin’ Policy,” news-record.com, 11/12/06

A list of “sins”? Absurd, for “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23). What would Jesus do and say after driving the righteous from the Convention in rage? ~jpc

Let us pray/work for the transformation of religious institutions. Namaste.
