Indiana may lose Disciples of Christ convention over bill allowing businesses to decl

Unintended consequences.

Leaders of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), which is based in Indianapolis, wrote Wednesday to Gov. Mike Pence (R) pressing him to veto the proposal. On Monday, Pence said he planned to sign the bill into law.

Church leaders say they are reconsidering plans to hold their 6,000-person General Assembly in Indianapolis in 2017 because of concerns that some members “might experience legally sanctioned bias and rejection once so common on the basis of race.” The move is part of a larger effort to use business to pressure state leaders on the issue.

“As a Christian church, we are particularly sensitive to the values of the One we follow – one who sat at (the) table with people from all walks of life, and loved them all,” the letter states. “Our church is diverse in point of view, but we share a value for an open Lord’s Table.”

Good news! They decided to move the convention out of Indianapolis. Our gain is someone else's loss.

Here's hoping they move their God-forsaken headquarters out of the former Farm Bureau Insurance building downtown Indianapolis! West Hollywood is where they belong.

I was born into the DoC. My father was a member for 40+ years. I was 5 when we went Southern Baptist. Indiana didn't lose much of anything.
