It was with a sad and heavy heart that I read these articles yesterday. Not many of you know of the "Down in the Blog" attacks from Northview church of Christ here in Columbia, but they began after our (Maury Hills') Good Friday service. It is apparent through the hatred of some that call themselves Christians thinking they are right and others HAVE to br wrong, 5 people, and maybe more, are loosing their jobs. It is a sad, sad day in Columbia.

Today the Columbia Academy board of directors, acting as henchmen for two campus Bible teachers and one or two disgruntled preachers in the area, fired five Godly, dedicated teachers who's only flaw was where in town they choose to worship.
The board singled out the five teachers and and tried to force them to sign a discriminatory agreement that none of the other teachers were shown, much less asked to sign.
In the days and weeks to come the truth behind this action will surface. In the mean time I plead for your prayers on behalf of these five innocent Christians who have not only lost their livelihood, but have been deeply wounded emotionally by this un-Christ like betrayal.
I ask that you pray for Columbia Academy as well. There are tears being shed on both sides of this issue tonight. There are still many kind, Godly, people at Columbia Academy who tried their best to stop this insanity. However, this time the extremist were just too loud and too deeply entrenched in the system.
The public firestorm that has already started is predicted to burn out of control for the next several weeks. The collateral damage is expected to be high. The truth must be told, but I pray that somehow it will be done in a way as to not permanently hurt CA or the cause of Christ in Maury County.
