On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg and

the body of Christ was changed fore er!

The recent announce"ent by World #ision that it was changing its hiring $olicies to no longer e%clude gays ignited a firestor" of fear and loathing in the e angelical world! &early 1',''' children lost their s$onsorshi$s, because a$$arently e angelicals would rather ha e children star e than hire gays! (n the words of Matthew )aul Turner, *There+s nothing re"otely *Christli,e- about that! (t+s downright disgusting, "ani$ulati e, and sad! (f ( was a )entecostal, ( "ight e en call it de"onic!-

(t+s ti"e to nail a theses to the door of the e angelical church in ."erica! This cannot stand, it cannot go unchallenged! Many of us had already left the e angelical church, "any who were on the fence ha e had the decision "ade for the", and "any agoni/e o er whether to stay and fight for change fro" within! To those who argue that to lea e and fight would cause di ision and har" to the church ( would suggest another loo, at the after"ath of that dra"atic "o"ent in the year 1517!

(f Luther+s intent was to bring down the 0oly 1o"an church he failed "iserably! (nstead, the force of the 1efor"ation he began and the "illions of belie ers added to the body of Christ, changed the 0oly 1o"an church for the better! (t too, centuries, and the $rocess was not without $ain, yet today the Catholic Church is a force for good throughout the world!

2o stay and fight for change or lea e and wage the sa"e fight, the choice is yours! (t "atters little which side of the door the thesis is nailed to, what+s i"$ortant is that it be nailed!
