re: #53 Irenicum

I’m an evangelical Christian, so this is a difficult issue for me. My understanding of how I should read scripture leads me to a traditional reading of sexuality. Yet I have had many friends who are gay, lesbian, bi and transgender, and some of them are Christian. Some struggle with their desires, some don’t. But in any case, I love them all. They, like me, are made in God’s image. How can I be most Christian in my understanding and interaction with them? All I know is that I am no less and no more deserving of grace than anyone else. We are all broken in some such way. This issue is complicated. But I will say that the Boulder RCC is being especially hateful in how it’s addressing this issue. So sad.

they obviously think homosexuality is verboten…so be it…everyone believes something, that’s the seed of conflict….the human race will never be free from intolerance so you might as well get used to it
