[Faith-talk] question

[PATRICK GORMLEY]

Get in touch with Scott LaBarre out there.  This is completely unacceptable 
and we should shout it from the housetops.  What does it say in James about 
favoritism?  Seems to me they need to look at those sets of scriptures 
before they make these statements.  That's completely unacceptable and is 
why we have the communities of faith division.
