Getting religion
While cleaning out my afternoon barrage of e-mail, I found one from the N.C. Democratic Party titled "NC Democratic Party Chair’s Statement on Reports of Waynesville Church Kicking Out Democrats," which immediately made me say "what?"
I had not heard about this story on a minister who excommunicated nine church members for not supporting President George W. Bush.
At any rate, here's North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Jerry Meek's take on it:
"One of the Bible's most repeated commands is to 'Love your neighbor.' If these reports are true, this minister is not only acting extremely inappropriately by injecting partisan politics into a house of worship, but he is also potentially breaking the law and threatening the church's 501 (c) (3) non-profit status."
