Thread Name: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
I work - part time - for an Episcopal church, and I think that would be called a Christian church. In the course of my work I read a good deal about their beliefs and their practices. And guess what? They are not even up tight about homosexuality. From what I gather, their concern is that each individual face themselves honestly and fearlessly. I think they consider being 'in the closet' as seriously hurtful to the human spirit.

That said, I also am aware that the greater body of Episcopalians is undergoing a tremendous upheaval right now for a couple of reasons: For one, their current national leader is a woman, secondly they recently ordained an actively gay priest. It appears that some will or perhaps already have break away.

Aren't human beings wonderful?
