Rev. Stephen R. Ayres of Old North Church in Boston calls out the Family Research Council for using an iconic image of two lanterns in its church steeple – made famous by "Paul Revere’s Ride"...

Rev. Ayres notes that the church, a "symbol of freedom for all Americans," is not partisan and does not support the premise of "Liberty Sunday" – i.e., that the "homosexual agenda" is putting "religious freedom on a course of extinction."(rightwingwatch)
