If they're on the same page as you, then my criticism would apply to them as well.Well I don't want to speak for Shandezzy but the article discussed the official teaching of the Roman Catholic church as stating that homosexual acts are inherently sinful but that orientation is not. (Same position I have) It went on to discuss how All Saints parish, lead by a celibate gay man, (something I mentioned early in this thread) reaches out to the gay community. (Same thing I want to do) My point is that I am trying to find out how I can reach out in my church to the gay community while maintaining our theological position that gay sex is sin. I am very interested on how others who share my theology do this, which All Saints appears to do and why I am going to meet with Father Daley.
I understand your position is that I cannot be inclusive and because of my theology I am bigot or at a minimum my interpretation is. That's fine, I see where you can think that and not understand where I am coming from. I just wanted to know why you don't call Father Daley and Shandeezy's parish bigots for doing the very thing I am trying to do, let alone using them to make a crack about me being in the dark ages.
The solution should be simple and obvious. Stop teaching that homosexual acts are a sin. It wouldn't be the first time that a religious sect changed its ways.
