Christian Forums has a blogging site for conservative Lutherans. There is now a post on that site which references Marti Oakley’s Proud Political Junkie Gazette and the fact that PPJ Gazette ran this post, including the post of the PDF file containing the defendants’ request for summary judgment in the hearing set for May 7th.
It begs the question: Is suing 4 innocent people to get their church property the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod’s idea for spreading the Gospel of Christ? Cut me a break.
