[Peace-discuss] Thursday witness for peace

[Phil Stinard]

Mort,

Clearly, it IS a matter of respect.  I know that you don't believe it, but 
these churches aren't pro-Bush pep rallies.  They consider what goes on 
inside their doors to be holy, even if you don't think so, and little, if 
any of that, has anything to do with supporting the war in Iraq.  I'm just 
pointing this out.

--Phil
