I generally agree with the analysis. However, I believe that the problem is NOT that the arguments aren't being *heard* -- it is that they are not *send*. If the church wants the moral authority to define what marriage means, we need to *demonstrate* marriages that the world will envy. Otherwise, why bother? -- Ernie P. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
