"A bedrock principle of our faith is to allow all people the privilege of worshipping God according to their own consciences," McConkie said in a statement. "This principle even applies to former members who have become disaffected."

OH, REALLY?

Then why: The group's next meeting is June 20 in a Colorado Springs park that Darlington won't reveal because of security concerns.

The link to the article source doesn't seem to work so I found Mark Barna. Another of his posts is this:

Is Christian rhetoric partly to blame for abortion doctor’s murder?

June 2nd, 2009, 9:01 am by Mark Barna

Dr. George Tiller was murdered Sunday while handing out church brochures in his place of worship in Kansas. Based on police reports, it appears that the alleged murderer, Scott Roeder, was a religious zealot with strong pro-life views.

Responses from pro-life advocates have been measured, though some, namely that of James Dobson, Randall Terry and Bill Dohohue, have included denunciations not only of the murder but also of the murdered.

Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, said in a statement Sunday that “Tiller recently faced serious charges related to the killing of babies in violation of the law, by the most grotesque procedures administered without anesthetic or compassion …. The doctor had the blood of countless babies on his hands.”

Terry, founder of the pro-life group Operation Rescue, said Monday that “George Tiller was a mass murderer. We grieve f0r him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God.”

Donohue, national apologist for Catholicism, said Tuesday that Tiller “proudly took the lives of over 60,000 children.”

Could this kind of rhetoric be construed by fringe anti-abortionists as veiled justification of the murder? Will conservative Christians who are radically anti-abortion sympathize with the murderer?

Well, it's plain to see what Barna thinks of Christians. He has a blog on the Colorado Springs Gazette.

I don’t know what that means because the Lord gives us all free agency!

There are plenty of X Mormons who meet in a Church in heart of down town Salt Lake City every week

No matter what they say, JW’s are haunted by other JW’s when they leave their religion. They shun even their parents who are not JW’s when they join. Sometimes they encourage their members to divorce their spouses if they don’t join. Brrrr.

Perhaps they have received threats.
