Some Food (no pun intended) for Thought on the Chick-fil-a Day

My facebook feed has been full of Chick-fil-a comments today, both pro and con.  I found the following blog post by Rachel Held Evans to be particularly helpful and potentially healing:

The last two paragraphs alone are worth the price of the blog (which is free):

"As Christians—conservative and progressive, gay and straight, activists and slacktivists—we must direct our efforts instead toward bridging this divide, which is going to take a lot of hard work, a lot of disappointment, a lot of tears, a lot of compromise, a lot of honesty, a lot of mistakes, a lot of apologies, a lot of listening, a lot of forgiveness, a lot of meal sharing, a lot of gospel. 
In other words, it’s going to take a heck of a lot more effort than either eating or avoiding a chicken sandwich. "
