People like you restore my faith in humanity. <br /><br />I consider what the General Assembly did to be an act of extreme hate, but they do not speak for all. <br /><br />As a Christian whose children were raised in the Jewish faith and also attended day care and Easter egg hunts in our local PC USA church, this decision has unnerved me greatly. I have made the decision to no longer attend weddings or other events in PC-USA churches; I am divesting. I hope someday I will be able to change that decision and that my family will feel welcome once again.Gary Liam Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557091978777015830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-62669397461299839372014-06-18T07:43:48.371-07:002014-06-18T07:43:48.371-07:00Seems like the twitter feed is quick news, albeit ...Seems like the twitter feed is quick news, albeit one sided at times. There is a guy with the name "Buber Zionist" who had the same reaction you did to the "Jesus didn't mind telling the Jews when they were wrong" comment.

There are at least two minority reports going to plenary now. One has to do with same sex marriage, and one has to do with divestment. So far only a few things have turned out alright. You know you can watch on live streaming. But twitter does give you a lot more of people's feelings.Viola Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146967423654966140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-71704170039440260462014-06-18T07:04:09.607-07:002014-06-18T07:04:09.607-07:00Viola, we've been following the events of GA o...Viola, we've been following the events of GA on twitter.
