Today I learned that on Monday, On July 25, 2005, there
will be a Pastor's
Summit at the Greater Bible Way Temple, 322 Madison
Street, Jackson, MI 49202 -
The subject matter will include a video "Gay Rights,
Special Rights" - The homosexual agenda, why we
must protect our children, a moral wrong is NOT a civil
right, serving the God of Gideon, marriage protection
amendment, standing for truth in the political (arena),
what churches and pastors can and can not do, why we
must protect states’ marriage amendment.
Considering this is a "Pastors Summit" and
is being held in Jackson, I beseech your help as clergy
members to ask for you to select an effective way to
counteract the damage that this Pastor's Summit will
do to the GLBT Community and their families.
Also, I am planning on having a demonstration to voice
a dissent of this type of
"Summit" being held in our community from
8:15am until 9:05 am and am reaching out to members
of the religious community to voice their dissent on
this type of activity being held in our community. The
intent of the demonstration is not to be confrontational
with those who will be participating in the event, but
rather to have a peaceful and quiet presence when the
ministers are arriving for the program. If you would
let your respective congregations be made aware of this
demonstration at 322 Madison Street I would be very
appreciative of any members that would be willing to
participate. I also am requesting that only the sidewalks
be used for foot traffic, that individuals keep moving
and not impede any individual who wishes to participate
in the Pastors’ Summit. If anyone has any questions
regarding the demonstration or members willing to participate,
they may call me at 517-745-1130.
I have discussed the issue with Rev Cynthia Landrum
and her husband Peter as
well as a lengthy conversation with Rev Jay Cummings
Sincerely,
Charles Meade
