Support Pastor Frank Schaefer standing on the side of love.
Thank-you, Rev. Schaefer – no affiliation
Declaring, “I will never be silent again,” Pastor Frank Schaefer accepts that the United Methodist Church will defrock him for supporting marriage equality because it is counter to church law.
In appreciation of his principled stand we invite you to send you a message of thank-you and support to Rev. Schaefer. The Blue Boat blog will collect your messages and cards and forward them to Rev. Schaefer, before Thanksgiving.

As a registered United Methodist Church member, I have to tell Reverend Schaeffer that I support his decision to stand up for the rights of his members. I can not even imagine the pain this is inflicting on you and your family, so I just want to say that there are many of us who support you out here! Keep the faith, and soldier on!! It has to change!!!
May prayers, love and support overwhelm you with hpoe, courage and strength in this difficult time. I am certain you are standing on the right side of history. I respect your stunning example as a father. Your son, son-in-law and countless others must be so proud of you.
