What some (I obviously don't place you in this category) don't realize is the difficulty of the shift required for policy and/or doctrinal changes of this kind within our church. It's hard enough to get two people to agree on some little thing; but to get 15 people -- most of whom are white male senior citizens -- to change directions drastically on gay rights is downright impossible in the near future. It's not like we put this kind of stuff to a church-wide vote (not that the result would necessarily be any different). |

Your question only garnered 2 real responses from your target audience (the No camp). And less than a handful, in general, from anyone. Personally, and it is just a guess, I think the lack of response from the board in general may be a referendum on how you are viewed by the community at large......non-responsive.

But there are plenty of other threads to play piss-on-Tex. Please don't respond here again unless you intend on contributing.

I agree with those here who've said we can always improve our outreach. I think the church has made large strides in this direction and will do more in the future. The emotion that is attached to this topic is very powerful, much like the abortion issue. Issues that touch family relations always seem to be.
As ER said, I'm glad I'm not the one who has to craft these policies.

That will likely end almost all your posting altogether. Nobody needs the non-responses and circular arguments. They get old very quickly. People piss where they see fecal matter, amigo. If you want people to stop pissing on you, then stop being a pissant. It is hard to see ourselves the way others do, I know.
