[Vision2020] Christ Church update

[Carl Westberg]

If I may use a sports metaphor (or even if I can't...I'm going to anyway), 
George W. Bush and Mr. Wilson seem to have hired the same defensive 
coordinator to draw up their playbooks.  In the White House, if you 
criticize the administration, you're being unpatriotic.  Here in Moscow, if 
you criticize Doug Wilson, you're non-Christian.
