Joe Offer BS: Inclusive Mosque (17) RE: BS: Inclusive Mosque 15 Mar 15

I'm spending the weekend at a conference sponsored by the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Some 40,000 people are attending. Among our speakers, we have an imam, a rabbi, evangelical pastor Rick Warren, and a number of Lutheran and Episcopalian clergy. The Catholic Church has a long way to go on LGBT issues, but there is a session titled "Joy of the Gospel for Lesbian & Gay Catholics in the Time of Pope Francis."

Of course, there are protesters outside condemning discussions by the people inside.

But there's hope.

The mosques I saw in the Middle East seemed to be open to all men willing to take their shoes off. Some seemed to be open to women, but I couldn't figure out what restrictions were on women. I just knew my sister went into some mosques, but not others.
