They interact on a completely different plane and paradigm where a person's viewpoint about the issue of being gay and being Christian is less relevant than the fact that every person is worth knowing. And so they are willing to walk with others along the journey of their lives without precondition of purity or shared perspective.<BR/>"<BR/><BR/>While I think the church does need a new level of conversation and the shackles of conditional relationships need to be dropped, I get wary sometimes (as to folks on all sides of this issue) with ambiguity. Hurting people need answers and the church needs leaders who are able to articulate definitive answers instead of vague platitutes.Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00505946146271414794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-29832041641531429052008-12-14T14:48:00.000-08:002008-12-14T14:48:00.000-08:00Wow Eric!!!
