Secular Windfall to Boost Gay Influence over Churches

http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/923687671.html

[ChristianNewsWire] 30 Aug 2008--Jim Berkley, director of IRD's Presbyterian Action Committee, commented:

"Homosexual advocates have long coveted the social capital of Christian churches. The core faith and mission of the denominations matter not. Churches evidently exist merely to be co-opted for politics. Activists want the churches' clout for their society-changing purposes.

"Now church gay caucuses seem overjoyed to be bought out by secular lobbying groups. In this collaboration, political activist want to use the church to promote causes alien to the churches' life and faith, and the church gay caucuses enthusiastically collaborate. At a time when mainline denominations writhe in self-defeating conflict, this well-funded political pressure is poisonous."
