Which is why I have so much respect for them.

They really do carry out the will of God by promoting a pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-freedom stand.

Rock on!

The Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention of the Southern Baptist Church is growing, new Southern Baptist Churches are starting up in the Minneapolis & St.Paul area. They have good resolutions, including one affirming the Boy Scouts of America's policy on homosexuality, local support for women facing unwanted pregnancies and helping women who are choosing life over abortion. It's going is the right direction.

God bless the Southern Baptists for standing tough on these issues along beside the Catholic Church!
