this remarkable link came from 'anon' in the comments section of the last post. is it okay for a church to sponsor a celebration like this? perhaps this is just good contextual mission?
Open Carry Celebration, June 27th 2009In Celebration of July 4 and our rights as Americans, New Bethel Church will be hosting an OPEN CELEBRATION CHURCH service for all who support 1st and 2nd Amendment rights. It will be held on Saturday June 27th, the weekend before July 4th. It will begin at 5PM and picnic food will be served. We are asking responsible handgun owners to attend this service openly wearing their sidearm. This will be a Cold Range Carry meaning handguns must be unloaded and in a secure holster.
Area gun store/firing range owners will be invited to attend and tell about their services. There will be patriotic music and short presentation concerning responsible gun ownership and 2nd Amendment rights.
There will also be a raffle to win a handgun. All that is asked is that you bring a sidearm, a friend who has a sidearm and a canned good for local food bank.

Churches can do pretty much whatever they like. But one day God will judge them all for their actions and it will be then that we find out what He thinks on these matters.
Its their right, why is this a problem?
of course. The canned good totally makes up for any misinterpretation...
So them New Yorkers know who they's dealing with:
