This Rev. Willoughby is given so much time in our paper, I think they should just give him his own column. I'm suspicious that these are actually excerpts from his books as I noticed it is possible to find links to the same editorial titles on other sites and they are all copywrited.
We have a local NYT owned paper, the Lakeland Ledger. I have noticed over the last few years they print many letters to the editor from a guy named Rev. Robert E. Willoughby. He's written some books and he now lives locally. My curiosity was peaked when I realized that his editorials are so word for word Progressive talking points.
So I tried to do a little research on the guy. I've collected some of his editorials and most are still available at the Ledger on line. I will copy what I have and give it to you. I think you will find it interesting reading! The puzzling thing is, He's 86 years old, graduated Yale Divinity School "48 and I can't find any background info. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, and I haven't been to my local library yet. In my google search his name took me to some interesting Progressive "Christian" sites.
The Reverend Robert E. Willoughby has been a pastor, teacher, and social activist for fifty years, with particular involvement as a freedom rider, a Vietnam War demonstrator, and a gay rights advocate.
