Which "Christians" are you talking about? There are certainly a couple of
guys who are getting excited over nothing.
The original issues i brought up had to dowith: How will/should PK respond
 to the issues presented by NOW and others. Now that we've had a big
event...will things go back to "normal"? Will they get better or worse?

i was also interested in getting the opinion of someone other than Patricia
Ireland (the president of NOW). MS. Ireland, in order to keep her position,
really couldn't acknowledge any good she saw from the PK DC rally; she "had
to" use every available media moment to tear down (rather than
constructively criticize) PK.

In these discussion, people like Tracy Hornsuch (did i spell that right?)
have given their insight as to how she feels the issues brought up by PK
affect her.  That is most useful to Christians like me.  i don't need to
hear a lot of agreement from people i know would do so.  Ignorant blasting
does nothing for me either.  But people like Tracy make me stop & think
about why i belive what i do, and how important it is, and what should i be
doing to share that.

: Luke 6:24 (NRSV)
: But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.
: Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. 

That's a good warning for us American Christians, as we're so clueless as to
the situation with others around the world.
