Outside the Pigeon Holes

I love the discussion and analysis here , in a brilliant post on Brian Mclaren's website , of the varying definitions of churchy words that get thrown around in inter-denominational discussions...I believe wholly that there is sin, that God has wrath and there is judgment, but what that loo ks like to me (through much of my own journey through the Spirit's teaching and God's 'refining fires') may differ greatly from that of my fellows.

The issue is with the Morning After pills which many people, men and women alike, are concerned cause abortions which is seen by many as killing and HL does not wish to fund those in their insurance plans. Again, employees are free to disagree with that position and purchase the contraceptives in quest...
