Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Co., a major insurer of churches all over the country, has denied coverage to Michigan's West Adrian United Church of Christ, citing the national governing body of the church's support of gay marriage and ordination for gay ministers.
"Based on national media reports, controversial stances such as those indicated in your application responses have resulted in property damage and the potential for increased litigation among churches that have chosen to publicly endorse these positions," the insurer wrote to the church.
But consider this: The church's pastor says he knows of no acts of, or even threats of, violence against the church. And the church is actually among those that declined to support a resolution by its governing body affirming gay rights!
