Florida Baptist Witness - Jacksonville,FL,USA

On public policy issues, Brunson said he is aware First Baptist,
Jacksonville, collected a large number of petitions in support of a
marriage amendment to Florida?s constitution which leaders believe will
earn enough signatures to be placed on the 2008 ballot.

?I will be vocal and will give leadership for conservatives in that area,
for Baptists in that area,? Brunson told the Witness. In a press conference
after the interview, Brunson told a reporter he intends to stay involved in
public policy issues involving morality.

?I?m just a preacher and this is just a church. And I realize that a lot of
things that we adhere to cross over into the political realm,? Brunson
said. ?I have a right to speak out. Some people will call that separation
of church and state. In the area of moral issues, I think that the church
has a command to speak out. And we will.?

That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.

It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
