You're also right about the separation of Church and State - I suppose it isn't at all illegal for him to be sexist. It's a shame, however, and I hope the members of his church feel the same way and choose to act. Dea,

If this pastor really wanted to use Christian Courtesy, this woman would not have been fired using Scripture as a false pretense. The woman was over 80! They could have thrown a Golden Jubilee in honor of her over 50 years of service and retired her. But no, this "Man of God" chose to use a Bible passage (delivered by his wife). And then when his actions are not received well, he is snide and infers there were other problems. All that said, the separation of Church and State allows him to run his church as he wants without government interference or lawsuits. I, however, want to make sure that not a penny of my tax dollars are supporting this man. How can I find out if his church gets any funds from the Faith-Based Initiative?
