The City Church – which simulcasts sermons to its four campuses in greater Seattle – has filed an application to expand its building in Belltown. A new wing would cover the parking lot with a two-story expansion, adding 12,210 more square feet. I left several messages with City Church asking how it plans to use the space.

I really don't hate gays.
