The Column I Wanted to Write
Bill Nemitz of the Portland Press Herald has been reading Mike Heath's blog. On that blog, Heath devotes most of his posts to his favorite subject - homosexuality.
In his latest post, Heath complains that he's just not getting the same level of support from pastors that he once did. Nemitz, I think, hits the nail on the head in his column - Christians have better things to worry about right now. Churches are working to combat AIDS and poverty in Africa, human rights abuses in the Sudan and religious persecution in North Korea.
A lot of churches are also spending time, you know, doing what God commanded them to do.
Politically, Heath knows this latest referendum is his last chance to make an impact on Maine's politics. Personally, I think question one is going to fail. It will be close (probably 52% no, 48% yes) but on November 9, the law will still be on the books. Heath has staked a lot on this people's veto attempt. If it fails, the Christian Civic League of Maine fails with it. This is, quite simply, a fight Heath cannot afford to lose.
