United Church of Christ activates their Justice & Witness Ministries for DADT repeal

[davidinalameda]

Operating under the banner of "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8), the United Church of Christ is mobilizing their members to take action for DADT repeal through their Justice and Witness Ministries. Perhaps UCC members on the Blend can let us know whether such actions are also prompted by clergy or lay leaders in their local congregations. But no matter, this to me is an example of a church denomination walking the talk, and I'm delighted to see it.

1. They sound like they should use the name "Christian"

Unlike the 'christians' in name only

2. Hear hear!

How anyone can hate an entire group of human beings and think they will be welcomed into heaven is beyond me. I will not spend Thanksgiving with my sisters family because they are racists and bigots but think they are going to heaven. I will be with my two sons and wife 360 miles away from my sister. It's sad but I have to be true to what is right and good. Some times in life you have to sacrifice. Sacrificing is a Christian value.

3. At least you will know that you are surrounded by love
