1. No, this is hilarious:
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 06:31 PM by ProSense
demanding that Obama cut ties with his "radical' church:

Trinity United Church of Christ is a megachurch, the largest congregation of the United Church of Christ, with 10,000 members.<1> It is also one of the largest African-American churches in Chicago, Illinois. Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois and candidate for the Democratic Party Presidential nomination, is the most notable congregant, and a member since 1988.<1><2><3><4> The pastor has most recently been the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.<5><6><7> Wright announced his retirement to Senior Pastor status in early 2008, and he is being replaced by the Rev. Otis Moss III.<8>


The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination principally in the United States, generally considered within the Reformed tradition, and formed in 1957 by the union of two denominations, the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Churches.

According to the 2007 yearbook, the United Church of Christ has approximately 1.2 million members and is composed of approximately 5,518 local congregations.

Although similar in name, the UCC denomination is theologically and, for the most part, historically distinct from the Churches of Christ, a loose affiliation of conservative congregations<1> that arose primarily from the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement in the 19th century.


Maybe Hillary supporters can demand that the UCC cut its ties with Obama's church!

3. I belong to the biggest UCC church in Houston
We are open and affirming -- a rare thing in Houston. UCC is very very progressive, so much so that our acronym, UCC (United Church of Christ), is often called Unitarians Considering Christ.

Peace

27. Yes. AND, the UCC was the first church to ordain a gay person, back in 1972.
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 07:54 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Many UCC churches have done weddings for gay people since at least that time, and 2006's General Synod officially came down in support of legalizing gay marriages.

Of course, the structure of the UCC leaves the decision of whether to perform a gay marriage to each individual congregation, since Synod only speaks to and not for the local churches.

The UCC has a good percentage of gay and lesbian pastors. I know of at least one congregation, probably more, that have two ministers who are lesbian and married to each other.

42. Some congregations are "open and affirming", some are not
The official position of the parent church is in favor of same sex marriage.

2. My view is different
Both sides' fans go ape over the newest media splash. Today, I started off the day determined to hide any thread dealing with Olbermann, Ferraro, or Wright. I have hidden 115 as of now. And GD:P is a decent place too.

I think I'll follow your lead.

Both sides do that pretty regularly (Obama supporters blaming Clinton, Clinton supporters blaming Obama- for their bad press). And it's really more depressing than hilarious. But that's just my take. This November is going to suck.

51. Hey, you know I love hypocrisy, I call you on it all the time.
But really...methinks you give the OP too much credit. There have been great posts calling Obama supporters on hypocrisy - one the other day about supporting caucuses (because they are how the rules are written) while criticizing SD's abilities to vote against the majority (also in the rules).

GREAT hypocrisy.

The OP's post is devoid of any intellect, wit, information, ANYTHING.

At least hit below the belt.

What good is "Obama supporters are totally stupid. LOL, ROTFL, WOOT!" ?
