Indiana will lose Disciples of Christ convention over anti-gay law

[LongTomH]

Now, here's REAL religious freedom: a liberal church elects to have their convention elsewhere to protest Indiana's discriminatory law.

Church leaders say have agreed to move their 6,000-person General Assembly because of concerns that some members “might experience legally sanctioned bias and rejection once so common on the basis of race.” The move reflects a larger push in the state and across the nation to use business to pressure state leaders on the issue.

The church has not yet decided on a new venue for the 2017 convention.

“As a Christian church, we are particularly sensitive to the values of the One we follow – one who sat at (the) table with people from all walks of life, and loved them all,” the letter states. “Our church is diverse in point of view, but we share a value for an open Lord’s Table.”
