Goudie's wrong on Obama church flap

I like Chuck Goudie, but he was wrong regarding his column concerning Barack Obama and his pastor.

Churches need not be empty if one or two ministers or priests disregard their vows and preach hate or blasphemy.

It is the responsibility of that church member to confront the pastor and the congregation regarding the speech of hate or blasphemy.

If that pastor or his church continues the practice, then I believe the member should leave that church and join another of his or her faith.

Sitting in the pews week in and week out and doing nothing is wrong.
