"A Church that doesn't provoke any crisis, a gospel that doesn't unsettle, a word of God that doesn't get under anyone's skin, a word of God that doesn't touch the real sin of society in which it is being proclaimed, what gospel is that? Archbishop Oscar Romero (1917-1980) "Never let other people define your reality or put you into bondage to their ways of thinking." Jerry Maneker.

SISTER PAULA INTERVIEWS REV. TROY PERRY
The following is a two part interview conducted by Sister Paula on her program of Rev. Troy Perry, Founder and 37 year Moderator of the United Federation of the Metropolitan Community Churches. He began the MCC in 1968, a year before Stonewall.
I'm proud to have Rev. Perry as my friend, and he is a prophet from God sent to all LGBT Christians and to all Christians telling us that God affirms ALL of His children, be they Gay, Straight, Bisexual, Transgender, or Transsexual.
I know you will be blessed during and after watching this two part interview of Rev. Perry.

A Campaign for Native GLBT Funding Justice
Target:
Organized GLBT Philanthropy
Sponsored by:
Two Spirit Press Room
Two recent national philanthropy reports have released information indicating that Gay Funders contributed $37 million in one year to GLBT organizations across the United States. Native American Two Spirit People, the poorest of all the GLBT communities, received only 4 small grants of about $2,500 each. The average grant to gay organizations nationally is $16,000 a year. Gay funders have a mission to serve all equally, but it's time for a summit with the Two Spirit People here in our ancestral domains to help the funders achieve their mission. Two Spirit People have significant spiritual and ceremonial roles in our Native cultures, and Gay Philanthropy has a significant role to play in realizing a vision of funding-justice and social justice with our people.
Hi Anguksuar: Of course this item is important anywhere! Thanks so much for sending it. Best wishes, Jerry.
