Walling-in the Church of the Good Shepherd Again

Somebody is circulating untrue rumors about council candidates WHO ARE SUPPOSEDLY OPPOSED to our oldest downtown neighbors, the Church of the Good Shepherd, in their noble effort to purchase an additional portion of the old Mall-site.

We've previously discussed the issue here and here.

Dear Leader Godfrey is completely against selling another square inch of property to the Episcopalians. The Church is Tax-exempt; and tax base is the only thing former-LDS Bishop Godfrey cares about. Godfrey has an LDS Bishop Stuart Reid plan for retail stores. And when it comes to Stuart Reid-conceived grand plans and central scheming, Mayor Godfrey will never budge an inch.

Here's the list of current council candidates who are in favor, on record, of selling the targeted little piece of land to our solid neighbors, The Church of the Good Shepherd, according to a question that was lodged at the recent League of Women City Council debate:

In favor of selling to the Church of the Good Shepherd:

Jesse Garcia
Dori Mosher
Donna Burdett
Dorrene Jeske
Doug Stephens
Steve Larsen
Bill Glasmann

Here's the one who's NOT!

Kent Jorgenson.


Church of the Good shepherd parishioners should think about this as they go to the polls tomorrow, as should their "truly Christian" LDS neighbors.

This one is a "no brainer," I think.

The beautiful Church of the Good Shepherd should never be "walled in" again.

Non-LDS Christians -- or others with different non-Christian beliefs -- should never be treated as outsiders in our wonderfully-diverse city.

What say our gentle readers about this?

Flaming the host is not a good idea.

Way to capitalize on the opportunity to give a good kick to your opponent Bill.
And Rudizink, I love how you take
every possible opportunity to smear someone you don't agree with.

To ignore the economic infusions that the parishioners of a revitalized downtown Good Shepherd campus would bring to Ogden is willed blindess on the part of "Hoss" Godfrey (think downtown stables) and his regent, Bishop Reid. I hope the resounding victory of new and common-sense blood in the Council will alter the thinking on this matter. The Good Shepherd is a priceless asset to Ogden and if it were LDS, the land in question would have been quit-claimed to them yesterday.
