A revised Church Handbook banned baptisms for the children of same-gender parents, adding that those children could be baptized when they turn 18 ? provided they renounce their parents? marriages. In response, several hundred people rallied in SALT LAKE CITY on November 14th to renounce the faith. At last count more than 1500 people have formally resigned their Church membership. STEVE HOLBROOK of the group Post Mormon and Friends helped organize the rally, and AARON LINFORD explained why he was formally leaving the Church (sound recorded by RICH KANE for the "Salt Lake Tribune" website). - When he started planning his FREEDOM 2015 NATIONAL RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES CONFERENCE, internet evangelical radio host KEVIN SWANSON probably thought that the presence of conservative Republican presidential hopefuls would bring both attendees and the press to his November 6th and 7th event in DES MOINES, IOWA. However the politicians who showed up (including TED CRUZ) may have been relieved that most of the mainstream media ignored the conference, despite Swanson?s incredibly inflammatory remarks. One of the few who did take note was MSNBC?s RACHEL MADDOW, who highlighted what she called "the kill the gays conference" on her program this week. Our coverage includes additional comments on Swanson?s theological pronouncements by Associate Producer LUCIA CHAPPELLE, who also serves as the Social Justice Minister at Founders Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles (with thanks to Right Wing Watch for watching Swanson, and intro/outro music from "It Ain't Necessarily So" performed by BRONSKI BEAT).?======================== * ======================="This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.), and is supported by the Kicking Assets Fund of the Tides Foundation, the Yavanna Foundation, a bequest from the estate of Christopher David Trentham, and donations from our listener-supporters.Thank you!=> Please log on to thiswayout.org to add your support [a tax-deductible charitable donation in the U.S.].?
