It is sad that the impending death of our democracy is largely a product of conservative Christianity.

Bad theology equals dangerous theology. Conservative theology is exclusive, pushing those who are most vulnerable in our society beyond the pale of concern. That includes the poor, immigrants, and our gay friends and loved ones.

So, what can we do? We can support churches that preach the inclusive love of the Gospel. Like St. Matthew.

We enjoy your love from afar, but there are times when we would like for you to show up. Like tomorrow evening—Saturday, Aug. 30, at 6:00 PM.

We will host a concert of Broadway music from our vocal “stars”—singers every bit the equal of the Broadway originals. (I kid you not.) And listen! In these hard times, when the struggle is before us, we need to be lifted. I can promise you joy. And laughter. And—supper!

It is all free, but we will take an offering for Eastside Ministries, which helps feed those in need in our community.

By the way, we are looking for customers on Sunday mornings, too. Worship with us is worth your effort—and even a little drive time. Come to my class at 9:45, the only place you can study my next book, Discovering God. After class, join us for breakfast, followed by worship at 11:00.

Don’t let the churches with bad theology get all the support. Stand with us!

Start Saturday night with the concert. That’s at 6:00. Meet me at the door.
