I must say, I'm VERY pleased that Mr. Church made the post.  It has created
quite a dialog of information, including the questions Pam posted, which
have allowed me to glean some information I didn't previously have.  I had
a feeling as I read it that several people would be hurt or offended, but I
tried hard to read it as information which I could take or leave.  I've
learned to do that with his posts in the past, and found them to be quite
useful and give pause to consider ways that I can improve upon the care
that I give to those who come to me.
 
Thanks to all who have responded from their hearts on all sides of the
issues raised.  I value your input, and hope that we all learn something
as a result of the comments.
 
Thank God we are part of this little "town"!
 
All the best -
