"I've heard a lot of other fellow Christians say that this doesn't really represent most of us in Manitoba, and most of us in southern Manitoba, in terms of how we feel about these things," said Michael Pahl, executive minister of Mennonite Church Manitoba, an association of more than 30 congregations.
