CR Blog: Inside churches, inside ministries, inside politics—if it’s happening, it’s here

Orin from Missouri comments on the Methodist church recent support of an open border policy saying:

I am not surprised at all that the Methodist hierarchy has chosen to oppose the SAVE act and declare for open borders. The leadership of the Methodist Church, particularly in the South, has been sympathetic for unAmerican causes for a long time. My parents walked out of the church back in the early 60's when they were supporting communist causes in Africa. They went to the bishop of their conference and had an unproductive talk. I know many of the families in Texas who disagree with the leadership but until they walk out there will be no change in church support for such activity.

Wanda comments on a new round of lawsuits in the Episcopal church:

I appreciate your articles on the Episcopal Church as that seems to be the only way to get news about our church. In today's letter, 4/28/08 in regards to Bishop Schofield and the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin suing for the property and money that belong to the people of that parish is out rageous. The National Dioceses is doing the same thing....We the people of the church have been trying to find out where they are getting the money for the law suits and what we can do about it. They are taking our money that we give to keep them in the high live style they like to live and suing us for our property....Many letters and e-mail have been sent to the Presiding "She" Bishop with no answers....thanks for listening and keeping us informed.

Editor: Wanda, we will keep you up to date, unfortunately, no one ever wins in litigation.

Pat laments the Methodist border policy:
If immigrants choose to break our laws by entering the country illegally, or lie in riverbeds, or the other things your group espoused, then they know their plight. They have done this to themselves with their decision. Personally, I believe there is a legal way and we should CLOSE our borders and people should enter our country legally. Pat C.

Editor: Pat, I could not agree more, living in Arizona, I can tell you, this problem is out of control.

Earnest gets right to the point and explains how he feels about the Methodist church and their border policy:

This is the most stupid thing I've heard of, these people have not a clue what open borders would do to our country.

Earnest from Arkansas

Editor: I agree, yet the Methodist church has been shielding illegal aliens for years with no consequence.

Steve remarks about Rev. Bynum and her recent appearance on Divorce Court:
This could only be Weeks- Bynum style, a muti million dollar wedding, and now the airing of your divorce on a popular TV show divorce court. This may make sense to Bynum, but what Fool sense does this make in Christendom? I know, I can hear her now say, how this is going to help so many abused and messed up women and how she is doing it for them. That is a crock of mess. They both have a need to feed their ego's that they both decided to do this. I guess they will produce the tapes of them consummating there marriage for public view to help other young marriage.
Aren't they just the martyrs.

Editor: appearing on national television on a bizarre show like Divorce Court appeared to be an odd public relations stunt, if reaching out to abused women was the goal, I think there are certainly more appropriate and credible outlets.

Chris reacts to my article on Net Neutrality and the Christian Coalition:

Good article. From what I have read, this is the Internet equivalent of the "Fairness Doctrine" which was first sponsored by Markey in 1993.

It seems like the Christian Coalition has made a deal with the devil in my opinion.
