I prefer congregations that are open to all, without shame. But it always seemed hypocritical of conservation congregations to expect shame from LGBTQ+, but not the numerous divorcees, especially those that remarried as the bible sees that as adultery.

Why does @angular need a new API to retrieve data? Does the Resource API seem pointless or confusing? In this video, I answer the *why?* question, telling the backstory of signals and the Resource API. youtu.be/YHZkiUbbeOg #angular #signals #resourceAPI
