The day we dedicated the new sanctuary, the church's billboard said "We thank God for the dedication of the new Northern Hills Synagogue sanctuary." Their minister and the president of their congregation came over with a letter of congratulation and a large floral display for our lobby. The title of my message says it all.

    Wow! That's something that the Denver pagan community would do! I've never heard of a Christian church doing something like that! That's awesome!!

    ***EDIT*** No, I am NOT generalizing ANYONE! Just because I personally have never heard of something, that does not mean that it's never happened before. It simply took me by surprise because as far as I know, it hasn't happened locally, which is where my experience lies. My post was meant to express appreciation- hence my statement of "That's awesome!!" Hope this clears up any possible confusion.

    I am a pretty thick skinned guy so I am not upset at all, but you should not be "funny" for a while. It would save yourself from further embarrasement.

    I personally appreciate all the respectful and thoughtful comments that have been given on the thread. I feel as though the Nation is not as bad off as I thought yesterday. Now, lets do something about that one too.
    Uh oh... There goes the thread...
