Baptists tell Democratic congregation members to leave

• Wearisome Bedfellows

Rev. Chandler of the East Waynesville Baptist Church is a wonderful example of Christian tolerance as it is often found here in North Carolina. You see he threw some parishioners who don't support President Bush out of church.

What kindly concern for their souls. What good Christian fellowship. Really shows you want the talk about Jesus Christ as your personal savior is all about.

Pastor Chan Chandler greeted people at the door of tiny East Waynesville Baptist Church yesterday evening as the church choir practiced and even welcomed them to attend services this morning -- if there is room inside. But he was not prepared to talk about his mixing of religion and politics.

Later: Chan Chandler leaves East Waynesville Baptist Church

The occurrence in Waynesville is a shining example of the effects of the intermingling of church and state, and it is one that will hit home for many. The message here is that politics is being used to force people's beliefs, and that people's beliefs and faith are being used in turn to advance political agendas. The wall of separation between church and state is being eroded by politicians and political organizations that see the faith of the people as a means to an end. Church and State must be kept separate. http://www.au-wnc.org Darrell Lunsford Western North Carolina Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. http://www.au.org

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Baptists tell Democratic congregation members to leave. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
