Christian group: "Even gays, liberals and undocumented immigrants" reflect God's image Empty Christian group: "Even gays, liberals and undocumented immigrants" reflect God's image

I think it speaks volumes on what the U.S. Christian community has become when campaigns like this are deemed necessary:

NEW YORK (RNS) A group of Christian leaders has set up a new campaign to emphasize that all people — gay, liberal, undocumented or otherwise — reflect the image of God.

Six Christian leaders, including Focus on the Family President Jim Daly, “Touched by an Angel” star Roma Downey and her producer husband Mark Burnett, have created a coalition called “Imago Dei,” Latin for “image of God,” to encourage people to treat each other with respect.

“If we had the image of God in mind for every human being, we could change the world,” said the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, who is leading the cause. “I want Christians to not be known for what we oppose but for what we propose.”

They're big in the U.S. community, like I said.
