Telephone News conference: Parishioner Andy Martin asks Trinity Church to end frivolous gun control lawsuit
Trinity Church
(Trinity Wall Street, New York
City) parishioner Andy Martin will hold a telephone
news conference Wednesday, April 2nd to announce his opposition to a
frivolous gun control lawsuit fled by the church in federal court in Delaware.
“I am distressed that my church apparently has money to waste on lawyers, when
they couldn’t afford to host a picnic last fall,” says Andy. “New
York liberals won’t even let Wal-Mart into New
York city. Now they are suing the company for meeting
the needs of American consumer. I am a very happy and very satisfied Wal-Mart
customer and I think the company does an extraordinary job. The church needs to
dismiss its lawsuit and return to more rational theological approach. I love my
fellow parishioners but in this instance they have gone off the deep end.”

Announcement
of telephone news conference Wednesday
Trinity
parishioner Andy Martin will announce opposition to Trinity Church’s gun
control, dirty music lawsuit
Andy
says the church may have been captured by “extreme leftists”

Martin is “a very strong supporter of the Second Amendment”

company
(New York) (April 1, 2014) Trinity Wall Street parishioner
Andy Martin will hold a telephone news conference Wednesday, April 2nd
to announce he is asking the vestry of Trinity
Church (Trinity
Wall Street), as well as the U. S. District Court
in Delaware, to end a frivolous
gun control lawsuit.
“At first I thought the rector had sent out an April’ Fool’s
joke,” Andy says. “Then I did my research and found this crackpot lawsuit had
been filed (see link below).
“I am a very happy Wal-Mart shopper and I note that Wal-Mart
hasn’t even been allowed to open in New York City
by the socialist Mafia that has taken control of local government. So Wal-Mart
gun sales are not an issue of importance to New Yorkers. (I usually shop at
Wal-Mart in New Hampshire, Florida
and Hawai’i.)
“Let me also be clear: I am a very strong supporter of the
Second Amendment. In my own state of New Hampshire,
as well as outside the New York City
metro area, people believe in and live by the Second Amendment. Wal-Mart does
not need a bunch of New York City
leftists telling them how to meet the needs of America’s
consumers. In fact, Wal-Mart is doing a better job of attracting supporters
than most mainline Christian denominations, many of which have seen their
churches shrink because of adherence to extreme leftist positions. I trust
Wal-Mart executives more than I would trust the clergy of most churches.
“I am not aware of any discussions within the parish about filing
frivolous lawsuits and enriching greedy law firms with Trinity cash. If the parish
has been quietly captured by a faction of extreme leftists that is obviously a
matter for concern. Trinity is a wonderful place and a beautiful church and I
am distressed that someone within the church has created unnecessary
divisiveness. Somewhere within the church the institution’s priorities have
been distorted by too much money and not enough common sense.
“I plan to ask the vestry to drop this lawsuit and
other dingbat-style activism, and also
will advise the federal court of my opposition. I may be one of the more
conservative members of the parish, but I accept most of the usual lefty,
trendy nonsense of which the Episcopal Church is so often enamored. You can’t
always agree with everyone about everything. Tolerance is important. But I
don’t think church loonies should be able to use the parish’s financial
resources to file junk lawsuits and to pad the pockets of greedy New
York and Delaware
law firms.
“In closing, while I am always distressed at the tone of
popular culture and am fully sympathetic with the concepts underlying the
lawsuit, I don’t think that an institution which is dependent on the First
Amendment (a church) should be seeking to limit the First Amendment rights of
others. No one has appointed Trinity Church
to serve as the ‘trash police’ of American popular culture.
“As for the ‘gun magazine’ issues, they are nothing but
liberal nonsense masquerading as ‘Christianity’ and I find it offensive that a
faction within my church has been captured by that delusion.
“I have no plans to leave the parish and I love my fellow
parishioners, even the loony ones (Jesus might say, especially the loony ones).
I am needed more than ever to add some sense of balance and rationality to the
parish’s direction.”
