...I didn't mean to take this long. Whoops; sorry.
Gif: (I've reached my limit for icons on LJ, will have to decide the best way to delete one to make room for it.)
And draft blurb for Pentecost thing:
-- Jesus Christ lived and preached love and acceptance of all, but it increasingly seems like the most vocal Christians are preaching intolerance and hatred. So we, as Christians who believe in Christ's true message, think it's past time for us to exercise our right of rebuttal.
This Pentecost we're going to blog about what Jesus's message means for us, and what we believe it means for how the Christian church should support its members and the members of the communities around us. We invite all other Christians to join us with your own blog posts, whether you believe in:
LGBTQ rights,
women's rights to choose an abortion,
freedom of religion,
evolution,
social justice,
or any other message of love.
Note that the aim of this day is not to evangelise to non-Christians about our religious beliefs, but rather to evangelise to other Christians about our political beliefs, and to strengthen ourselves in fellowship with others who take these beliefs as not merely compatible with, but actually required by, our religion. -- I think that says what I want it to say but I'm not sure if it says it in the best way? That second paragraph in particular is what took me so long. Also I gave up entirely on a title. So any and all suggestions would be awesome.
And, um, then what? I could just plop it up on my Dreamwidth/LiveJournal and ask people to pass it around. And/or better ideas?
