You're spoiling the soup!

There had been 8 churches in Kalamazoo taking part in Martha's Table, a program to feed the homeless. Alas, three of them are in a snit because some of the other churches supported the city gay rights ordinance that passed in November. That's even with the charter for Martha's Table saying nothing about homosexuality. So the miffed churches took their ladles and went home. Seems they thought feeding the homeless was actually about recruiting members and couldn't stand homeless people getting impure doctrine with their soup. They also don't understand what Christianity is about (see Matthew 25:41-46), something especially glaring the week before Christmas. Quite a contrast from the UU church who served supper at the Ruth Ellis Center yesterday.
