A little motivation

Lots of factors have pushed me into speaking my mind more freely and educating myself more fully; none pissed me off as much as this report: Church & Scaife.

Church & Scaife
Secular Conservative Philanthropies waging unethical campaign to take over United Methodist Church

The United Methodist and other mainline Protestant churches are the targets of a continuing, orchestrated attack by determined right-wing ideologues who use CIA-style propaganda methods to sow dissention and distrust, all in pursuit of a radical political agenda.
Anyone committed to the Christian faith (or the principle of free religious expression, or even basic standards like honesty & integrity) should be appalled by this report. It documents the covert efforts of some to destabilize and delegitimize several Christian denominations, in order to weaken their social witness and to distract from the Truth of the Gospel: that Jesus lived & died for all people, cared for all people, and had a special interest in reaching out to those whom society neglected most.
