The United Church is one of those Christian organizations that disconnected itself from its Christian roots in the 1960s. Since then it has embraced homosexuality and a very inclusive view of who gets to go to heaven, and busied itself with do-gooding. In other words, it has become profoundly irrelevant.
The UC General Secretary has written a rather long and self-important letter to the National Post, responding to some intemperate remarks concerning Israel, made by a UC minion.
A letter-writer lamented that these remarks could harm Judeo-Christian relations.
Here's my take on that:
Citizens need not be overly concerned that pronouncements by the United Church may hurt Judeo-Christian relations. The United Church, in abandoning hard biblical revelation for feel-good doism, ceased being a Christian voice some time ago. As for the self-important response from the General Secretary, someone should let him in on a little secret: what the United Church thinks is profoundly irrelevant to all but itself.

Heck,
My father in law is a UC minister - the latest fad is 'progressive Christianity" - which is essentially secular humanism. Christ is not devine - just feel good and be good to others and you'll be ok.
