[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we have let the Christian Right take over the narrative of what being Christian in America means. What part of the golden rule makes it okay to shun the LGBT community? Personally I believe that God loves everyone and who am I to make all these rules about other people whose activities do not affect me at all? Our church’s (Episcopalian) focus is on feeding people and all are welcome at God’s table. I don’t make myself feel good about myself by putting other people down. What good is served on Earth by diminishing other human beings? Members of our congregation feel the same way - when making the decision on whether to perform same-sex marriages there were listening and discernment sessions and there was way less discussion or debate than anyone expected.

And the Christian right kids themselves that the “doctrine” is divinely inspired. They’re going to say that we can’t pick and choose but if you’re not attending the Holy Mother Catholic Church, you already failed at that. [/quote]

There is a difference between "shunning" the LGBT community and re-orienting your entire slate of ministerial staff, activities, etc. to promote pride in the lifestyle.[/quote]
