Glide is a megachurch. I have never seen rich people do that before. I haven't seen it in other megachurches I have visited. It is hard to imagine a shrewd politician knowingly taking on that crowd of people who will stand with one another and with anybody whose life is threatened by abuse, neglect, or denial. Those people have nothing to lose, but the whole world and eternity to gain.
Glide seeks to be a church of unconditional love.
That is what I want for myself and my congregation. The difference between Glide and my church is that Glide means it and does it. We say we want to receive people as they are, but we don't truly mean it. We lie to ourselves and to God about our ultimate commitments to both God and neighbor. We have done it so long that we have convinced ourselves, and we have become good at defending our ways.
