Thank you for standing up for right!


A big thank you to Bishop Michael McKee who heads the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. Bishop McKee suspended Bill McElvaney who "married" a couple of old queers in violation of church doctrine and policy.

A big thank you to the Rev. Camille Gaston who had the courage to file the initial complaint against McElvaney. And a big thank you to Rev. Tom Lambrecht who had the courage to support the Bishop in his action.

It is refreshing to see people who will stand on the Word of God despite the political consequences and public ridicule they may face. Hold fast, Bishop McKee, Rev. Gaston, and Rev. Lambrecht!
