Several years ago we got a new pastor. He was so harshly conservative from the pulpit that people left in droves. The church recovered a little during the interregnum. We've had a new pastor for a couple of years. He speaks so harshly liberally from the pulpit that people are leaving in droves.

As long as pastors stay away from immigration, abortion, LGBTQ issues, the church does well.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
