The pastor and youth minister of an Owens Cross Roads church formally apologized for a youth scavenger hunt that targeted Kerry-Edwards signs, among other items. The signs were burned in the church parking lot.

Doug Dermody, chairman of the Madison County Democratic Executive Committee, said Monday that the senior pastor, the Rev. Jeff Ponder-Twardy, and youth minister B.J. Storey of Owens Crossroads United Methodist Church apologized to their congregation Sunday and submitted a written apology to the county's Democratic headquarters.

Ponder-Twardy personally delivered the regrets Monday, Dermody said Monday afternoon.


YAY! Steal for Jesus!!

4. WTF is Christian about what they did?

I think a huge segment of society is completely certifiable these days. It's disgusting. They should lose their tax-exempt status. I wonder how any Dem members (if there are any) felt about what their minister did.
