I go to a mainstream Methodist church that is "inclusive". Homosexuals are welcomed and encouraged to belong and be involved in the full life of the church. No one judges them, no one preaches that they are going to hell.
Many mainstream congregations are looking closer at the issue of homosexuality, and realizing that no one has all of the answers, and so are relaxing their stance on these issues.
Methodists, Episcopals, Presbyterians, and even some Baptist churches have broken with the larger associations in order to welcome all into God's loving arms.
Why do some people have such a hard time with this?
There are many theologians that are studying the original texts, etc...and are coming to different conclusions about homosexuality than the traditional churches stance.
Many will say that, "my Bible says it is wrong, etc..." But, how can you not respect other's beliefs and interpretations when they come to a different conclusion?
