I wish you could have been there..actually I know some of you WERE there this evening, at the worship service before the HRC clergy action day. The preaching was inspiring, the music was spirit filled, and as we sang during the processional, we were marching in the light of God.
The sanctuary was filled with clergy from different faiths worshipping together for justice and equality. I was asked by HRC to lead a responsive reading based on the Religious Declaration on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing....AND the word became flesh. Three hundred voices joined together to recognize that sexuality is one of God's life giving and life fulfilling gifts and that there must be full inclusion in our faith communities.
I felt very spirit-filled, and so so grateful that God has brought me to this place.
I can't wait to tell you what happens during our hill visits tomorrow.

Gift sex may be, but we need an ethics to govern our behavior, and if their is an ethics, then some will stray, and they don't belong in the community.
We ought to be clear about that, and I fear this post isn't
Yes, Debra, I was there ... and glad you were there and witnessing to us out there in the pews.
Bill, surely you are not suggesting that people who "stray" as you put it sexually do not belong in our community? Do you remember what Jesus said to the crowd about the woman who committed adultery?
Rev. Quixote, I'm sorry not to have met you!
