After a televised debate, during which Finland's Christian Democrats leader Päivi Räsänen made horrific anti-gay comments, a reported thousands of people have left the Finnish Evangelical-Lutheran Church, including 5,000 on Monday alone!

According to the Helsinki Times:

“The number leaving increased sharply on 12 October following the broadcast of a debate programme focused on gay rights on Network 2 of the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle). By Monday 18 October, more than 24,000 people had left Finland’s Evangelical-Lutheran and Orthodox Churches.”

Wow!

We are so impressed with so many people taking a stand for what's right!

Hopefully someday the USA can show that kind of commitment to equal rights!

Thoughts??
