There are 500 congregations (out of 10,000) who are leaving our denomination because of this very issue -- but as a church body we have made our choice to say gay is blessed by God, and in time we will be of one mind. The Episcopal Church and UCC are also affirming.<br /><br />In your part of the country and in your life situation perhaps there is not such open-hearted response to who you are.<br /><br />But you are good and beautiful and loved by God. That I know, with my whole heart.<br /><br />michael eAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191814566134809079.post-62725405201937802902011-04-09T08:26:19.525-05:002011-04-09T08:26:19.525-05:00I continue to appreciate your reflections and your...I continue to appreciate your reflections and your processing of faith issues. Mind if I continue along for the ride and keep you in my prayers? (I'm sure you won't mind, but want you to know I consider it a privilege to read your blog.

You are asking deep questions, and you've come up with some good answers so far. I believe you're right: God loves you & God is not freaked out that you're gay. There are more churches, too, that believe this. So, if you're ever looking for religious community there are places you can find it. The majority of churches of my denomination (Unitarian Universalist) are 'Welcoming;' many United Church of Christ churches are 'Open And Affirming' (or ONA); and of course the Metropolitan Community Churches... <br /><br />I hope you do find a good man to marry & be happy with. Blessings on your journey...Earthbound Spirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042611502142798184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191814566134809079.post-14646500384732675912011-04-07T09:09:42.926-05:002011-04-07T09:09:42.926-05:00Amazingly put into words, thanks for this.
