Jude,
I hope you weren't offended by my questions. If so please accept my apology. The last thing I want to do is start the year causing strife. Your comment about the mission statement got me curious, so I asked.

I'll be honest. I wasn't aware there was a religious affiliation with the chain. Knowing that they are based in the "bible belt" or close to it anyway, I'm not surprised that there is but, I wasn't aware that it was.
