my first reaction was scenes from forest gump. "seat's taken" over and over again.. but this scene just blows me away. a girl who cannot ride the bus because she is not baptized?
"They say all the places have gone to children of faith," she said.
"The bottom line was 'is she baptized?'
"I said she was too young to make that decision for herself."
apparently it is not an isolated incident.
i wonder, as a united methodist... we have an open table for communion, would we open our bus doors (provided we actually got institutionally involved with the educational processes of our children) to those that are not of our faith or denomination?
what example of the gospel is this to push people out (the sheep if you will) to make room for those who are supposed to shepherds?
