[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, I don’t believe in god but now we are discriminating against candidates because they are too religious? Christian isn’t a dirty word. Sheesh progressives are anything but. [/quote]

I don't know if I would vote for her (I don't know enough), but why would it be a bad thing to have one of the members represent this population--which certainly exists in our school. E pluribus unum and all that.

Or, at least ask if she plans to represent her personal interests only or the needs expressed to her by her constituents...

Lastly, one poster said she/the church thinks LGBTQ individuals are evil. That may be the case, or it may not. Or the church may say that and she doesn't agree with it (even if she is the chair). In my faith community, a lot of more conservative clergy don't perform religious marriages not between a man and woman. However, they have no problem with these unions being  unions or marriages under America civil law. Even more won't perform marriages from people of different faiths-- not because they think it is evil or that the people are evil, but because they don't believe it fits within their religious roles.[/quote]

This church is different. It was founded in the 1970s, and isn’t affiliated with any denomination. They could chose tomorrow to allow gay marriage in their church. They could chose tomorrow to stop telling their members that homosexuality is a sin. But they haven’t, and they won’t. Wells isn’t just some church member that attends services and privately believes something else. She is a LEADER. She shapes that church’s direction as its “ Chairman & President Trustee of the Board”[/quote]
