Concession Network Protestors

Concession Network legal expert, Rolf Reade Johnson, addressed the crowd. "Now is not the time to advocate for an end to discrimination," he said. He warned that those who support discrimination might try a devious strategy in which they would "support removing ordination barriers, and then where would we be? This is going to happen in God's time, and I happen to know that's not 2004, but 2006," he said.

Not everyone in the Concession Network supported the witness, but former moderator Wentworth Earl Miller IV stopped by to pat protesters on the head and congratulate them for not rocking the boat too much. "I'm lukewarm to all of this, but it feels safe enough. If we go slow, maybe I can hang on to my pretty sanctuary with the Tiffany stained glass. My daughter's at Bryn Mawr now, but I'm sure she'll be getting married any day. Any day! Once I find her the right man, and get that pesky roommate with the nose ring out of the picture...."

Gé Chevara remained stunned as he emerged from the hospital miraculously unscathed. "I thought a distance of 300 feet would have cleared the aerosol."

Muppet could be heard making faint incredulous mumblings, "Inflammable means flammable. Nonflammable means not inflammable....flamers, don't come near me..."

LGBT people come here to state our position on the most important controversial issues and will do so with the full sense of responsibility which the use of this rostrum implies, while at the same time responding to the unavoidable duty of speaking out, clearly and frankly.

We should like to see this Assembly shake itself out of complacency and move forward. We should like to see the committees begin their work and not stop at the first confrontation. Heterosexism wishes to convert this meeting into a pointless oratorical tournament, instead of solving the grave problems of the world. We must prevent their doing so. This Assembly should not be remembered in the future only by the number 216, which identifies it. Our efforts are directed to prevent that.

Pssst! Look at me! I'm a juicy alligator burger! Come on, you know you want to eat me.

But NO, WAIT! The Presbyterian Church says "you best not." But that was only by the slimmest of majorities.

So will you, or won't you? You can have a tasty bite of alligator burger now.... OR, perhaps you would like to wait until the Task Force on Piece, Punity, and Impurity delivers their nutritional analysis of alligator burgers in 2006?

It's up to you. Come on now, what are you gonna do?
