What should the city of Moscow do to be open and welcoming to diversity?
Should the Moscow City government clearly condemn the antigay,
pro-slavery, Neo-Confederate views of Christ Church officials--OR--in
the name of tolerance should the city support all political views and
take no stand regarding their Neo-Confederate influence?
I don't think the government should ever condemn or promote a church. Rather
I think the city should simply take views that are open and inclusive. If
those policies happen to complement or contradict the views of a Church in the
community, so be it.
Although I dislike much of what (Un)Christ Church has to say, it is not all
bad. It does do some good. I don't want them to stop doing the good stuff, just
the bad stuff.
It would be a big mistake, and I think unconstitutional, for the City of
Moscow to start taking official opinions on Churches.
I would, of course, endorse and support changes in the City of Moscow laws
and city ordinances to be more inclusive and in taking steps to be more
proactive fighting discrimination in Moscow.
