Thus far, I'm not aware of many, if any, local comments regarding the hatred we saw this weekend in Charlottesville and wherever Donald Trump is at any given time. (People here are too busy salivating over walleye fisherman.)
A friend told me that her pastor at Emmanuel Lutheran in Menominee spoke up against hatred.
No one else has responded to the question I posed yesterday.
But I did hear a week or so ago that the pastor of one Marinette church was urging his flock to support the president.
That's akin to supporting hatred, because as Donald Trump demonstrated on Tuesday, he's full of it -hatred, and many other nasty things.
Assuming this poor judgment on the part of a clergy members is truly the case, it doesn't really surprise me. There's a whole contingent of people who think the important thing is weekly church attendance, not kindness toward others.
I suspect those who feel that way aren't going to change.
But we can. Each one of us can change something we do to fight hatred.
What will you do?
