From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A Northern California church group is trying to ban from stores a line of greeting cards that contain condoms. The greeting cards are being test marketed in Redding, Chico, Sacramento, Reno and elsewhere. The distributor, “Condom-Wise” of Redding, says they are designed to promote AIDS awareness. But Pastor Burt Smith of the Little Country Church in Palo Cedro says the cards violate Christian beliefs. Smith says he has collected more than 300 signatures on a petition seeking the ban.
