it sounds like you're saying we should both love each other and outdo each other in showing honor

I appreciate your heart to love your community well in this. As a Pastor now and an Army Veteran, I can honestly say that this has been a very interesting dissonance for me. I took the flag down when I started here, but I’m also able to discuss my reasoning while saying that my wife and I are both combat veterans. Learning during therapy to look back at my 23 y/o self in the Army to forgive him for not knowing and to feel sad for what he had to go through has been an important journey for me, and being in a safe community that allows that has been healing.

We have a flag at a side area. Not center stage.

Thanks father. I am a park educator and I often need to reach across so many controversial topics to impact us on our shared struggles as humans to make a kinder better world than the one we came from

I removed the flag from our sanctuary, and I say that as a retired veteran. I love my country and served it proudly, but the sanctuary is meant to center God above every nation or political symbol.

That flag represents the best and the worst of us in this country.

I think this sums up the core idea of allowing something, not for what it represents now; but for the sacrifices people made for its existence. (I hope that makes sense).

I think I'd be upset to walk into a church with a flag in it. I have complicated feelings towards my own country. for one thing it took the court till 2015 to legalize my right to marry nationwide. and now the court signs it open to over turning it. many state governments and even federal government officials are actively pushing to take that right and other rights away. It is also hostile towards my fiancé. The man I love more than life itself. I honestly would probably turn around and walk right back out of the doors. to me this is a worship of a country and it's leaders that very much and very actively do things to hurt "the least of these" not only is that upsetting, but it flies in the face of everything Jesus taught. Besides none of my relatives (including my dad) who are veterinarians even fly flags at their homes.
