Gay-Friendly Christians

Lord Save Us from Your Followers is a great DVD to watch while deciding how to vote on California's Proposition 8.

Made by born-again Christians, the film is endorsed by Pastor Jack Hayford, president of the Foursquare Gospel denomination, among others.

"Why is the Gospel of Love Dividing America?" asks the subtitle.

This humorous documentary, produced by Dan Merchant, comments on the culture wars and votes for peace.

Listening and tolerance are its themes: Christians should do more listening and less talking. "The sea refuses no river."

One of my students, Sarah Fernandez, saw this film at her church and brought me the DVD.

She attends The Sanctuary, a Four Square-related church in Santa Clarita north of Los Angeles. See its website, http://www.thesanctuarychurch.com/

Tony Campolo, Rick Warren, Bill Maher, Al Franken, and Bono are among those interviewed. Footage includes 25,000 teens gathered for a Battlecry rally in San Francisco.
