Joe Allen,

Can you please provide a source for that claim.

It should be known that John Hagee had an affair with a woman in a church he previously pastored. He divorced his wife so he could marry the woman.

Most of Hagee’s supporters don’t know that documented fact.

I seriously doubt that Hagee will even change his preaching against gays and lesbians.

And very good steps. I have to admit to feeling a bit of trepidation, but I have to applaud both the groups that reached out to Hagee, and Hagee himself for being willing to reach back.

You describe this very well as “Small steps, but necessary steps.” The fact that they’re small steps gives me hope that this will lead–slowly–to greater understanding on both sides. I’ve heard it said that the difference between revolution and evolution is that revolutions are quick, ugly, and tend to backslide, while evolution is slow but produces more lasting results.

This sounds like an example of evolution in action.
