Velly intellesting!
All I will say is this little story from yesterday:
My parent are members of the Presbyterian Church. They had a 2 hour long Congregational Meeting this past Sunday... to discuss three things. It was only supposed to be 30 minutes maximum:
1. This whole Gay Marriage thing... that was pretty much resolved in 10 minutes. Some people chose to leave. Just like some chose to leave allowing women to hold positions of "power". Basically approved, with many dissenting... but understanding you have to get the sinners in Church to help them.
2. This whole Legalization of Marijuana thing, again pretty much resolved in 10 minutes. Most begrudgingly agreed it was good, since some *RICH* (aka heavy contributing) members are on it right now for Cancer treatment. Basically approved.
3. Selling of a 6+ acres of land owned by the church to a for profit Nursing/retirement/assisted living facility. This facility is a "competing religious charter" based organization. They had to figure out: A) Whether or not to sell it to the entity. B) For what dollar amount versus the appraised value. C. Where the money should go. Not resolved in 1 hours and 40 minutes. Another meeting in 3 weeks with much more info being published/sent to the congregation.
You see, these are mostly OLD people... even they are getting the whole Gay and Drug thing... but yet still can't agree on money and land.
