Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks was scheduled to speak at Willow Creek Church's Annual Leadership Summit. After pressure from a group that asked him not to appear, Schultz decided to withdraw from the conference. The claim of the group was that Willow Creek Church was "anti-gay" and that Schultz should not appear for this reason. Pastor Bill Hybels responded to this cancellation with tremendous grace and wisdom in my opinion. It's worth seven minutes to see this!
