Different Gifts
The American Episcopal Church's bishop-elect Katharine Jefferts Schori told a convention that she believed homosexuality was not a sin, rather one of the many different gifts God gives each person. This news that religious leaders can be tolerant, accepting and modern puts such a happy smile on my face.
I realize this article is from a conservative "Defend the family" website, but I felt its reporting was relatively fair. I did find this quote interesting: "'This is yet another example of the culture influencing the church, in lieu of the church influencing the culture,' [Joe] Dallas told CitizenLink."
Looks like Joe Dallas should do some research on how Christian denominations have changed to meet the needs of society, and not the other way around.
