Terrible. Although I'm not a Christian, I have a working relationship with a liberal Christian denomination that has been similarly overtaken by woke ideology. So far there hasn't been an outright coup, but I notice a high degree of knee-jerk fealty to the jargon and customs of progressivism, including a female pastor who wears a pronouns badge. And I was corrected for using the term "homeless" in lieu of the made-up term "unhoused." Newspeak is a sure sign that virtue signalling has taken the place of objective thought.

The irony is that the congregation includes some of the kindest people you'll ever meet, always ready to help and give of themselves. One would think that having the moral framework of an established religion would be sufficient for people to feel properly grounded in what is right, good and true, without adopting the blatantly illiberal customs of a woke religion on top of it. But that's not how it works anymore.

I applaud Dr. Rohde for her refusal to sacrifice the foundational principles of both her church and this country: free speech, plurality of views, and respect for the individual. May she kick their butts in court.
