Do you believe that the spiritual leaders speak with a different voice than the secular leaders? Do you believe that those voices are blurring into a theocracy? ........is there any truth to the Dominionist concerns?

I believe that the so called spiritual leaders of today are bankrolled and promoted by the secular leaders. We see the same tools on every station not by accident. They are held up specifically because they are close minded laughing stocks further blackening the eyes of all Christians. A healthy, inteligent and reasonable believer is by default ignored.
I also believe the fear of a Theocracy, is always a fear of
thier Theocracy, while I work to rename, defend and install my own. We on this site strive to spread our own version, considerring it a better alternative. Dominionism is merely trying to increase what one thinks is "right", making the world a better place. I can blame no one for the simple effort.

I agree with Zerbie to a point. While it is good to identify the adversary and thus the 'weapons' best suited for battle, it is the same whatever cloak it dons.

Do all "gay-affirming" Churches sing from the same hymnal, pray from the same prayerbook, or offer the single or coupled gay or lesbian congregant the same pastoral care and sustenance as they do the rest of their flock?

Not sure of your point...

Is it zealotry, dear brothers and sisters, or is it merely spiritual realpolitik???

Zeal precedes action. It is both.
It is rare for me to request that someone talk down to me, but as I likely missed your point all together, you (and Emproph) are so encouraged...
