"I would like to say 'This book is written to the glory of God', but nowadays this would be the trick of a cheat, i.e., it would not be correctly understood."--Ludwig Wittgenstein
"Talk to me about the truth of religion, and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolation of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand."--C.S. Lewis

Outrage your neighbor as you outrage yourself
I knew from the article that this sign was on the grounds of a United Church of Christ. It wasn't until I looked in the background that I saw the church was Open and Affirming (a UCC phrase that means accepting and affirming of LGBT people and their relationships).
Probably a less controversial stance than it was before Obergefell, but now I wonder if Mr. Jansen could decode that message, if he wouldn't be upset all over again. Or, it might calm him down, because obviously a church with both these signs can't really be Christian.
Or maybe it's doubling down on their heresy.

I look at the Crux website from time to time and I found this piece about Syrian Orthodox Christians, a beleaguered community, who are feeding poor Muslims during Ramadan.

I feel ashamed and humbled when I read things like that.
