[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the breakaways. It’s the same for a Anglicans who “broke away” from the Episcopal church. The church leadership set the existing policies, and there are a million other churches and denominations that don’t like women and/or  gay people. Go there if that’s your thing, because fundamentally that’s what it’s about. [/quote]

I left the Methodist Church two years because I got sick of the constant celebrating of the LGBTQ community.  Go be whoever you want.  I really don’t care.  But I don’t attend church to celebrate you and your cause.  I go there to worship Christ and this LGBTQ issue has, in my opinion, taken the focus off of Christ.  [/quote]

Well lucky for you, you can have your hate church back.

One thing this will be good for is forcing the bigots to own it openly.[/quote]

DP.  Your attitude is why I also left a liberal Protestant Church.  It’s “hate” if you think the focus of Christianity should be on, you know, Christianity and not cheerleading in the culture wars and for political causes?  Okay, enjoy your LGBT advocacy organization that you call church?  Why not just get yourself a job at the Human Rights Campaign?  [/quote]
Hmm. Does this apply to conservative issues, too? Because I grew up Catholic and remember the our parish selling cupcakes to represent the millions of “babies murdered by abortion each year”, chartering a bus to the pro life march, charting a bus to go lobby representatives at the state capital when bills related to abortion came up, etc. Okay, enjoy your anti-abortion advocacy organization that you call church? Why not just get yourself a job at Live Action?[/quote]

There are some progressive Catholic churches out there if you  can find one.  Try a Jesuit parish if you there is one near you.  When I lived n NYC I was close to an amazing Catholic church.  IT was more then 50 percent gay, probably 75 percent.  I think it was a lot of theater folks..the choir was unbelievable.  Good luck.[/quote]
