Jesus too open-minded for TV networks

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] cakmpls for this one.

The UCC (the United Church of Christ) tried to air a spot announcing that, like Jesus, they welcome everyone. Some networks consider that too controversial.

Edited to add: [livejournal.com profile] king_tirian pondered aloud a bit whether the problem the UCC identified with other churches was actually a real problem. Are people really turned away from churches? Based on this news story, and this followup, among others, I'd say that it is.
