The United Church of Christ will air a second television commercial during the week of Christmas as part of the on-going “God Is Still Speaking Campaign.” United Church News reports:
The UCC's second spot - which, like the "bouncer" ad, was produced last January - begins with a little girl reciting the traditional children's poem, "Here's the church, here's the steeple. Open the door and see all the people." The scene then segues through various shots of diverse people - including an apparent lesbian couple, persons of color, a differently-abled person and someone with a Spanish accent - who echo the refrain, "All the people!" An announcer then says, "God accepts all the people. So do we - the United Church of Christ. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you're welcome here."

You will be able to see the spot on network television – including CBS and NBC. Look for it next week during “ER” and “Law and Order.”
It's hush, hush about the lesbians though. CBS and NBC didn't seem to notice this time. Let's not tip them off.
