Report from Indianapolis

Kevin Jones, November 2, 2002
"Isn't it amazing how the liberals took over the denominations?" "Yes but now God?s people are going to take them back."

Overheard in the hall at the Confessing the Faith conference in Indianapolis October 24-26, a gathering of conservative mainline Protestants.

When I told someone about my trip to Indianapolis to report on the conservative Episcopalians, United Methodists, Presbyterians and United Church of Christ members gathered for the Confessing the Faith Conference, he asked, "Do they really think they are working for peace and justice?"

The answer is, "no, not at all." They think they are reclaiming the apostolic faith, renewing the faith of their fathers that has been corrupted by liberal modernism that has produced a world of soft porn TV and urban violence, a world of abortions and "the homosexual agenda."

1. Good place for the exercise of...

... hypocrisy, Indianapolis.

When I was there in the `60s, the number of churches was only exceeded by the number of whorehouses....

2. As bad as my hometown

Dubois Pa
boasted as many bars as churches.

4. Well, what can I say...

... I wasn't there on a research project. :evilgrin:

6. "number of churches was only exceeded by the number of whorehouses"

I saw the (red) light, I saw the (red) light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the (red) light!

5. What the hell is he talking about?

And what does the "homosexual agenda" and "soft porn TV" have to do with anything?

It's like the Christians seem to blame gays for everything just like the GOP blames Clinton for everything.

7. Maybe that's because the GOP...

... helped put that little idea into their heads....

8. They're the American Taliban

"Freedom" my ass! It's their way, or no way. I shake my head in amazement by their desire to move back into the dark ages.
