One more time. This
is what George Bush says. This is what George Bush does.
Report for November 15, 2003
George Bush claims to be a
born-again follower of Jesus Christ; but Jesus said, "Not every one
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew
7:21). God's will concerning homosexual acts can be found clearly and
repeatedly spelled out in His Word, the Bible; yet Mr. Bush continues to
justify the wicked individuals who perform such acts. Now he has written a
letter of congratulations to a sodomite church run by Troy Perry, a
pervert who left his wife and children for a life of sodomy. According to
Proverbs 17:15, George W. Bush is an abomination to the Lord.
George W. Bush's Strange Letter To MCC
by Mary Ellen Peterson, 365Gay.com Newscenter, Los Angeles Bureau
365Gay.com, November 11, 2003
West Hollywood, California - A letter from President George W. Bush has
two gay pastors scratching their heads. The letter, on White House
stationary, congratulates the Metropolitan Community Churches on its 35th
anniversary, and was written the same week the president was observing
anti-gay Marriage Protection Week.
The letter was received by MCC Moderator Dr. Troy Perry and Rev. Neil
Thomas, senior pastor of Metropolitan Community Church of Los Angeles.
The LGBT Protestant denomination was founded by Perry in 1968. Today, MCC
provides almost 300 local churches for its 43,000 members and adherents in
22 countries.
One of MCC's biggest mandates is fighting for the legalization of same-sex
marriage, a position opposed by the President and most of the Republican
Party.
MCC churches perform more than 6000 same-sex weddings annually. Only those
in Ontario and British Columbia are legally recognized.
"By encouraging the celebration of faith and sharing of God's
love and boundless mercy, churches like yours put hope in people's hearts
and a sense of purpose in their lives," the President's letter says.
"This milestone provides an opportunity to reflect on your years of
service and to rejoice in God's faithfulness to your congregation."
But, in his proclamation endorsing "Marriage Protection Week,"
Bush wrote, "Marriage is a sacred institution, and its protection is
essential to the continued strength of our society. Marriage Protection
Week provides an opportunity to focus our efforts on preserving the
sanctity of marriage and on building strong and healthy marriages in
America."
Marriage Protection Week was organized by such Religious Right leaders as
Jerry Falwell, Dr. James Dobson, the Southern Baptist Convention and the
American Family Association to deny equality under the law to gays and
lesbians.
MCC calls the two positions a mixed-message at best, or politics at worst.
"How does one denounce the right of gays and lesbians to marry in
their churches and suggest they are incapable of having healthy marriages
in one moment, and in the next rejoice in God's faithfulness to a gay and
lesbian congregation that performs such same-sex marriages?" asked
Rev. Thomas.
The White House has not responded to a request from 365Gay.com for
clarification.
