In my defense, I think he's sort of left leaning as it is, scholarly, and at least well read in progressive theology. The church we go to has been going through a reformation of sorts after they realized a few years ago that women exist. They've always had non-conservative preachers since I've been around and I think they went with this guy last year when they hired him because he's young and progressive.

At the time I said it, I felt like he might have been able to be ok with it but in hindsight, I kind of regret it. I normally tell people I "read economic theory stuff" and let them extrapolate what they will from that.

And tbf, he really is a decent person so far.
