Mocking Christians Not Funny

Baldwin United Methodist pastor writes in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Rev. Dr. Bruce E. Bryce isn't laughing.

Bryce, the congregational care pastor at the  in , wrote an April 24 letter to the editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in which he asks for respect for Christians when it comes to ridicule.
