So, our house got flamingo-ed (or "flocked") at some point tonight. And we didn't hear a damn thing.

Which means that we're all too engrossed by TV/the computer to notice stuff what's going on outside our own house, or the pastor's son was right and our senior high youth group are all ninjas.

Well, didn't end up walking out of the meeting after all.

After some discussion, the congregation voted to table the decision on the amendment. So basically we did nothing but talk and postpone this thing for further down the road.

A couple months ago, the United Church of Christ decided to support gay marriage rights.

I was thrilled with this news.

This Sunday, my church voted not to support the UCC's resolution.

I do not agree with this decision.

I haven't been a big church goer of late - I'd just attend services where Mom and I had to usher or greet, holiday services like Easter and Christmas, and the occasional "on a whim" church attendance. I paid offering less frequently than I attended.

So now I'm questioning whether or not I should just quit going altogether, even stop coming into the church office on Fridays to help the secretary put together the Sunday bulletin. I don't know if I want to be part of a church that claims tolerance and acceptance, but doesn't practice it.
