[Vision2020] Christ Church update

[keely emerinemix]

While I wasn't involved in Rose and Saundra's laudable work on taxation, I have spoken publicly against Doug Wilson, and I'm not a secularist.  Heavens, no -- I'm a Biblically conservative, feminist, Trinitarian, creedal, Kerry-supporting, former bilingual minister of the Gospel.  

There.  That should clear it up for everyone, except for those with no sense of decency.

  I, too, read the Tribune story, and was particularly struck by the claim 
  that a "group of about 50 secularists" were trying to bring down Christ 
  Church. . . Call me old-fashioned, but I was hearing echos of Sen. Joe 
  McCarthy's famous Wheeling, WV, speech:  "In my briefcase, I have the names 
  of 204 known Communists in the State Department."

  Let me be the first to quote Joseph Welch: "Have you no sense of decency, 
  sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

  My house holds probably as many folks identified with principled opposition 
  to unfair tax avoidance on the part of Christ Church as any in Moscow.  Only 
  one of them (my dad) is an avowed secularist--of the ethical humanist 
  variety.  I'm a Quaker, of the strand sometimes known as Conservative 
  Liberal, or Hicksite.  Rose is a Quaker (Universalist).  Joan is Jewish 
  (Reform/Reconstructionist).

  Which means that 47 secularist conspirators have been meeting without me.  I 
  feel like a real wallflower.

  And for the record, we're not worried about the LDS Church, nor yet the 
  Methodists, the Presbyterians, the Lutherans, the Nazarenes, the United 
  Church of Moscow, the Impact Church, the Rock Church, the True Gospel 
  Lighthouse, etc., etc., etc., because none of those institutions are, as far 
  as I can determine, asking for unfair tax exemptions.  That makes it easy.
