[quote=Anonymous]If you aren’t anti-gay, do you find it possible to be part of a church that has, in the information about their beliefs on their website, a statement about marriage being between one man and one woman?

We are looking for a church.  Live in Fairfax.  Have been exposed to some lovely, active churches (mostly non-denominational) where people seem great.  No outward signs of being super conservative.  Reasonably diverse.  Have met well-educated people there.  But then there’s that statement right there on the website.

These places seem so welcoming and to be striving to grow and proselytize.  So, they must be truly anti-gay to still want to scare people off with that statement of belief, right?

I’m not gay but don’t want my kids (or me) exposed to hateful beliefs.  I guess I’m just hoping for some insight into why a church would choose to do this and any thoughts about whether such a statement might actually not be an indication of an anti-gay agenda.  Not looking for prescriptive advice as much as I’m interested in others’ thoughts and experiences.[/quote]
