Episcopal service will feature Bank of America credit and debit cards being chopped to bits
By adamg - 10/26/12 - 2:12 pm
Episcopalians from across Massachusetts plan an unusual protest tomorrow downtown: A march that will end with Communion - and the destruction of participants' Bank of America cards:
During the service, Bank of America credit and debit cards will be collected in the offertory plate and destroyed, and a special prayer will be said over those who pledge to bank locally and close their accounts with Bank of America and other large banks.
The march starts at 10 a.m. at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul to Government Center, with Communion on the corner of Cambridge and Court streets.
Bishop M. Thomas Shaw, SSJE will be present to preach and bless the efforts that individuals are making to bring about economic reconciliation.

Isn't politicking from the altar
generally frowned upon by most major religions?
This is seedy and tasteless.

"Isn't politicking from the altar generally frowned upon by most major religions?"
Tell that to the Catholic Church!
Politicking?
So I guess now overturning the money changers table in the temple was politicking too? You gonna try to take away Jesus' tax exempt status?
Religion = Politics
Been that way since religion was invented. It probably won't ever stop. Tasteless indeed.
Never heard of me eh?

No
It is not.
Where have you been? This
Where have you been? This isn't what they do - this is all they do. They see Jesus as a great community activist from olden days - no more.
which is what he was...
as compared to how right-wing mouth breathers see/use Jesus, as a gun-toting, 'Murrica loving, gay bashing "patriot"
What the bible says about "activism"
Read John 2, sections 13-22. Something about moneychangers, etc. and a certain activist ...
Th'hell?
.
I bet they taste better
