cmotherofpirl Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 :( ...An effort to get Christian ministers to remove crosses from their churches is being promoted by an interfaith group that was started by the head of the Unification Church. The American Clergy Leadership Council (ACLC), an organization founded by Sun Myung Moon, is spearheading the campaign to get rid of the cross, calling it "a symbol of oppression and perceived superiority." The ACLC claims that the key to true and lasting peace in the Middle East is the reconciliation between the world's three largest religions. Archbishop George Stallings, the ACLC's executive committee chairman, says the cross is an obstacle to peace between Muslims, Jews, and Christians, and that churches should take down their crosses to symbolize Christian "willingness to remove any barrier that stands in the way of us coming together as people of faith." Mainstream Christian leaders are calling the request "outrageously bigoted." Michael Schwartz of Concerned Women for America (cwfa.org) says that if a Christian objected to the Jewish Star of David or the Islamic Crescent, that person would be known as a bigot, and when a Jew or Muslim objects to the Christian symbol, he or she can be identified in the same way.

Chastisement Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I heard about that not long ago. Amazing, isn't it? Today you can't be raicst, sexist, anti-semetic, homophobic, but you're more then welcome to strike out against Christainty, and in particular the Catholic Church. Seems society has found the new victim for predjicie and bigotry. Excuse my spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
