"Jesus loves the homosexual, but he doesn't love homosexuality. This is about holding each other accountable."
-- Dave Daubenmire, the founder of Minutemen United and Pass the Salt Ministries, who thinks breaking into church services to rail about the homos share "the word of God" is appropriate. (more on him below)

A "Christian" extremist group has decided to take their anti-gay message on the road and try to shake some sense into renegade churches that dare to be gay-affirming.

Members of the organization, Minutemen United, have crashed services at the First Baptist Church in Granville, Ohio every Sunday since July when, the church landed on the Minuteman hit list for hosting "Love Makes a Family," the Family Diversity Project's traveling photography exhibit of LGBT families. (Columbus Dispatch):

On one of the first Sundays, six people came to the church's 11 a.m. service and addressed the congregation during a time designated for prayer requests and comments.

{Senior pastor Rev. Kathy} Hurt said a man, who introduced himself as a minister from the New Beginnings Church in Warsaw, Ohio, started to give a sermon about how the church was acting against God's word by accepting homosexuals.

The other church on the Minuteman list was Columbus's King Avenue United Methodist Church in Columbus where the Rev. John Keeny said: "They rebuked me as a pastor for preaching that God's love is for everyone."

now more publicity-craving, dangerously unbalanced so=called pastors in the street and in the churches?
what next....resist...

Sad day when you need security to keep extremists out of a church service....church is supposed to be open to everyone.....but gee, how to handle this (from a safety perspective)....:shrug:

(And just wanted to point out the churches that were infiltrated were Baptist and Methodist....to illustrate that being Baptist and Methodist does not necessarily equate to being 'fundy' and homophobic.)
