I want to find other believers who think the same way. Where are they, and what can we do together?
*raises hand* Here's one! I'm one! And I'm a pastor... not that this fact seems to help much. Mostly it just distances be from my congregation, but my hope is that bit by bit, earning their trust, I can coax them to move from religious right to at least the religious middle if not the left. I am hurt by all the "Christians voted for Bush" polls and statistics. Not *all* of us did. And in fact, it is precisely my religiously-held belief in God's inclusive love of all creatures that motivates me to vote against the republican agenda.
Thanks for finding this quote. It was what I need to hear, too.
