"We are the actors, singers, dancers, crew and managers...We, along with thousands of other Christians in the entertainmetn industry, know our talents come from God, and we take offense when His name is battered and bruised by people through the media."

What upset them was Kathy Griffin's acceptance speech for her Emmy award.
She said that, "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus."

Then she uttered this blasphemy: S**k it, Jesus. This award is my god now."

"Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus was mocked and few stood up for Him. We at the Miracle Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today. We may never win a national award. We may never be household names. We may never be seen in Hollywood. Although others may choose to use their national platform to slander our God, we are honored as professional entertainers to stande for Christ.
