Margie???
My understanding is that they found another place available to rent almost immediately. I'm not sure that answers your question.

If that were the case, then Apostolic people would only rarely go out to eat. Because you might be surprised how many people who own restaurants, or are chefs in restaurants are also gay. I'm not saying ALL - or even most. But I am saying that you don't know - so would you take a chance?

Purchasing the building and changing the face of the property is entirely a different story. Renting it, I stand with them in supportive agreement, IMO. Purchasing it and them moving away is another.

I am sure I don't know everything my local boutique owner does with her money, nor do I care. She doesn't come home with me, nor rent a room.
But this pastor is not coming home with any of them either, nor renting a room from them Her church is renting the church to them. But they have no part of any of their services or any of their activities.

If the boutique owner had a reputation of being a child abuser or something else that was a drag on society, I wouldn't be a patron at her shop.

We simply can't place the church in that kind of politically correct position. 20 years or so ago, we wouldn't be having this argument. We've come a long way, baby.

Why take a chance? Maybe they are fornicators or drunks...your money could be used to support their lifestyle choices
