Yeah - what Hetdt said - there isn't a man or organizaion that isn't flawed in some way. On the other hand, I don't believe there is man or organizaion that is purely corrupt or evil.
I think one of the greatest tools of Christianity is the whole concept of forgiveness. It really is about getting past the flaws and looking at the inherent good within each of us - Perhaps one way for you to move on is to forgive the church (or it's contributors) it's ignorance. Yes they support some awful and stupid stuff, but that is not what the whole organization is about.
But I understand that one issue has overwhellming focus for you - but that is just the thing that will prevent you from ever moving on. If that is your goal, you have to find some way of acceptance. Rejection of the church alltogether is also an option, but I don't think you want to start discarding friends becasue they're donnated to the church.
