Churchmouse Campanologist | Ringing the bells for Christian traditions and getting our story out there. If we don’t, who will?
Cue West Side Story music – “There’s a place for us, A time and place for us. Hold my hand and we’re halfway there. Hold my hand and I’ll take you there Somehow, Some day, Somewhere!” |
“Nearly two years ago — March 21, 2011 — The Clergy Project launched.
It is funded by the Stiefel Freethought Foundation (SFF), The Freedom From Religion Foundation and the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. [GJ – Curt Peterson was a Church Growther and pal of David Valleskey. In the LCMS and WELS he promoted CGism. He is now a publishing member of this loud and proud atheistic foundation, but his four essays are still in the Holy of Holies, the WELS Essay Files.]
Priests and ministers who become atheists can turn to the Project as
a safe haven for active and former clergy who do not hold supernatural beliefs,” has already launched scholarships to help non-believing clergy, a new “Employment Transition Program” is launching next month.
The words ‘a safe haven’ are puzzling. True Christians would be only too happy to see such clergy renounce their vocations and quietly leave the pulpit and the Church.”
