Seems to me that Dr. Kennedy should be called on to explain how
Christianity produced the crusades against Moslems and Albigenses, the
/Malleus Maleficorum/ and execution of witches, the many burnt at the
stake by the Inquisition, the sentences of Anabaptists to the galleys,
and a host of other abuses. He cannot weasel out by claiming that such
things were not done by "true" Christians, for his fellow Calvinists in
New England condemned witches and persecuted Quakers and Baptists who
happened to come among them. Zwingli was responsible for the severest
persecution of the least extreme Anabaptists, the Swiss Brethren.

Unfortunately, I do not expect too much from Kennedy and his
organization. Nearly two decades back I visited his church. There were a
number of cars in the parking lot with bumper stickers claiming that the
product codes were the mark of the beast. The original codes had taller
marks at each end and in the middle that could be read as sixes. I've
never seen such claims elsewhere, but I would like to know if anyone has
seen such views expressed anywhere else.
