Words have consequences

Lompoc Interfaith member, Pastor Bob Cornwall, takes another look at the issue of hate speech in his Lompoc Record "Faith in the Public Square" column -- published this week on Friday, April 13, 2007

Earlier Lompoc Interfaith sent a letter to the editor raising questions about an earlier letter that had Anti-Jewish implications.
