Thank you Dan. I was getting lost in previous comments. Your response is clear and hopefully will encourage others to participate in the discussion.
Could you tell me what is OSJ? I am familiar with CPJ.
I would say that no, "denominational employees should not have the authority to speak on the behalf of the CRC based on THEIR OWN SUBJECTIVE political preference including not using denominational resources".
But denominational employees should be encouraged to speak on behalf of the CRC including using denominational resources on issues that the CRC has majority agreement or can work out a majority agreement.
Maybe start with an issue that is not too emotionally charged. Homelessness?
I would encourage you to not to infer that my questions were not clear. Simplistic yes. Unless you prefer this to be an intellectual discussion and not include the common man.
A thought. By trying to set the disabled apart from "the regular" by NOT acknowledging that the media will see the disabled as one extreme or the other in the same way they see "the regular", we actually do set them apart. The media does not consider the "pitiable" regulars news either.

Well said Mark. Thank you.
I would add that applying the word "mere" to thoughtlessness gives excuse to our thoughtless attitudes.
