Reply #67: Trinity UCC [View All]

[Bluenorthwest]

is an inclusive congregation. When I first heard about Obama and read he attended a large chruch, I went to their website at once, and read up on the church in differnt places. I was delighted at his choice of worship homes, if he's going to have one, Trinity is a nice choice. Over and over I have said that if Obama stood with his chruch family, instead of pandering to other groups, he'd be standing right with me.
Many of us have experienced first hand that holding any minority group up for derision, especially in the name of God, can and does lead to true and actual harm to real and loving humans. Many of us would not want a speck of innocent blood on our hands, or tied to our words or deeds, many of us actually follow a faith where the goal is to always help the least among us, and to treat all as if they were in fact the Christ. That is all beautiful.
Donnie McClurkin is the opposite of all of that, he spreads pain and division in his own community and in mine and in the large shared population of the two. A bigot with a cross around his neck is still a bigot.
Why a Trinity man would be hanging with that is highly confusing to me. The chain of hate speech should not include a US Senator, much less a President.
