Comments on: Ex-Exodus Minister Condemns Uganda Conference http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/03/12/9704 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sat, 25 May 2013 18:14:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: grantdale http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/03/12/9704/comment-page-1#comment-36325 grantdale Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:02:32 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=9704#comment-36325 We are more than pleased to say our first impressions (and criticisms) of Wendy have not continued. Her break with Exodus did the deal -- if she had continued as a 'member' of any sort (either herself, or for ND) our opinion would not have changed. But, Wendy did the correct thing: Exodus is inappropriate, Exodus does not care about human rights. Exodus is not an organisation one should associate with. There is so much we (we're sure) DO NOT agree with Wendy and ND, but we would be more than happy to stand arm-in-arm with Wendy and defend those who are being persecuted in Uganda. If we could. Whatever differences about how one should live, decent people can agree on the basic, decent treatment of people who chose to 'disobey'. Wendy can do that, it seams. Alan Chambers cannot. Even if Wendy thinks we're hell bound in a basket, at least she's not trying to make life hell on Earth for us right now. Or for people in Uganda etc. We can cope with that. Yeh, we can.

I never got around to reading the EGW discussion with Wendy Gritter, it’s still in my guilt-pile of things to do. That said… Wendy, bless you. I so appreciate your vocal condemnation of these human rights abuses. Coming from your “side” of the issue, it’s refreshing in a very wholesome way. -Patrick :) Here, here, here, to Wendy and Ben and Mike.

Mostly, she impressed me, though we did not completely agree. But this: I have to hand it to her. No equivocation, just an out-right THIS IS WRONG! what a change. a Christian who actually prefers morals to moralizing. I came across Wendy Gritter last year at XGW.
