Metropolitan Community Churches Declared Apostate
In response to an MCC press release a news story was posted on the Radical Right's WorldNetDaily.com website on November 12, 2003. WorldNetDaily is a major supplier of news to far right-wing radio talk shows and ultra-conservative magazines and websites.

In the news story, Radical Right leaders attack both MCC, for its pro-gay theology and commitment to same-sex marriage, and U.S. President Bush, for sending 35th anniversary congratulations to MCC in the midst of the anti-gay Marriage Protection Week.

Of special concern is the harsh and vicious language used by the Radical Right about Metropolitan Community Churches: 'MCC is evidence of a growing apostasy within Christianity' and 'MCC is an apostate denomination.'

Also, please note this is not a 'political' story -- it as an example of MCC's long history of holding government leaders accountable -- whether it was Clinton's support of the Defense of Marriage Act and the Clinton Administration's restrictive immigration policies for people with HIV, or President Bush's mixed message of congratulating a gay denomination that performs 6000 gay weddings annually during the same week he also publicly supported the anti-gay Marriage Protection Week.

In any event, this story is picking up significant media coverage in the United States and Canada.
