[Vision2020] Only Christians Need Apply???

[Kai Eiselein, editor]

Where, and please show me, was there EVER an offer of employment made by 
this kid in the email? (Or at least the portion of it printed by White.)
She merely pointed out there were openings  available. The fact that she put 
it out to church members makes NO difference. There is no law stating one 
cannot tell friends, family and even fellow church members about employment 
opportunities.
To suggest a dispatcher was making a job offer is ludacris.
