I continually am confronted by Christians, even active members of major churches, who have never heard this taught in their local congregations. We have a lowest-common-denominator Christianity being taught in so many denominations that has produced a people who simply do not know some of the most basic Christian truths.

If the churches can save their souls and we're trying to save their minds, then together we can save the whole person.

We thought that instead of taking this to Hollywood, how about taking Hollywood to the churches? When we looked at the technology, you can have a great screening with digital projectors and surround sound. You don't need a movie theater. So we started asking people and screening the movie for pastors, and after they saw it and wiped away a tear, they said they would love to show it to their congregations.

But the churches brought the humanitarian perspective that to a large degree was forgotten. We know what that argument is, but the churches were the best to articulate that.

We've sung for Black churches. If we went there and tried to sound Black, they wouldn't have it. They wouldn't buy it if it wasn't authentic. We've always sounded like we sound.

I react with skepticism and reservations. This is a violation of the church's status quo, because each church has its territory and other churches cannot interfere.

There have been many Methodist churches that have closed in the core, and we believe there is still valid ministry to be done. It just needs to be reinvented,.. We believe God is not done with Methodism in the inner city.

Really, in the whole scheme of things, (these cases are) rare. Hopefully, the churches, whoever hires these people that have to handle children, by law, they are required to have a background check and fingerprints done on these people.

The Republican Party believes that people shouldn't leave their moral and spiritual beliefs at the door of the polling place. We're just appealing to one of our constituencies, just as the Democrat Party does... The Democrats may feel it's more profitable to go and do voter registration drives at a homosexual convention. We feel more comfortable going to churches.

[Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell thanked Metro Schools Director Pedro Garcia and other educators in attendance. The church hosts school-related neighborhood partnerships.] Despite everything we might do during the school day, there is a lot more that needs to be done,.. This is a place for families. And because it is Sunday, it seems appropriate to mention that it makes use of a sacred space. Churches are often looking for ways to make their facilities available through the week in their communities.

It's one thing to send construction teams -- and that's great -- but it's quite another to ask these crippled churches, 'Can we come back next year and help with Vacation Bible School?'

Today there are gays and lesbians in church groups outside of my own denomination, but there are tens of thousands who want to be a part of the Universal Fellow ship of Metropolitan Community Churches. We continue to expand and grow and carry the good news that Jesus died for our sins, not our sexuality.
