"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.
Thank you Brittny and Jackie. If every LGBT person, and all decent people, left homophobic churches, these churches wouldn't have enough money to persecute Gay people, and their clergy wouldn't be given the credibility that they now have. I have often written, it is better to not go to any church than go to any church that affirms discrimination and is, thereby, antithetical to the Gospel of grace. That's why the Metropolitan Community Churches are so important, as are many United Church of Christ churches. My very best wishes, Jerry.
