] NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The CBS and NBC Networks have
] refused to run an ad by a liberal church promoting the
] acceptance of people regardless of sexual orientation
] because the networks believe the ad is advocacy
] advertising.
]
] The 30-second spot, run by the United Church of Christ,
] features two muscle-bound bouncers standing outside a
] church, selecting people who could attend service and
] those who could not. Among those kept out are two males
] who appear to be a couple. Written text then appears
] saying, in part, "Jesus didn't turn people away, neither
] do we."
]
] "It's ironic that after a political season awash in
] commercials based on fear and deception by both parties
] seen on all major networks, an ad with a message of
] welcome and inclusion would be deemed too controversial,"
] said Rev. John Thomas in the statement.

Rock that statement, Reverend!
