Is there a religion that accepts all people, gay or straight?

Question

I am in a 5 year relationship with a woman right now, I'm just trying to find my place.

Answer 1

Metropolitan Community Churches (a mostly gay denomination), most congregations of the United Church of Christ, many Episcopal Churches. Also many forms of Buddhism. I believe most Wiccans are open and accepting, as well.

Answer 2

Many Christian churches, especially the Unitarian and Episcopal churches accept gay and lesbian members and even ordain them. I'm not sure if u can be a practicing member in the other denominations, but u can't be practicing it to be a Jehovah's Witness according to Romans 1 ;26-27 and 1 Corinthians 6; 9-11, but they don't beleive someone will burn in hell either.

Answer 3

I am a Christian, and my husband and I are planting a church. Anyone could come to our church. I know many other Bible believing churches that welcome anyone. There is a church in my area, where the pastor is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. He is covered in tattoos, and so are many of those that go to that church. There are some churches out there that would have a hard time with that, but he has a personal relationship with Jesus, and many others have come to Christ because of his testimony.

We have been building relationships with people who are homosexual, wiccan, atheist, agnostic, buddhist. We are becoming friends with this guy that was in a gang, has been addicted to drugs, been in prison more than once.

God did not call believers to pick and choose who we show the love of Jesus to. God's word will be preached in our church, but no one will be turned away. Everyone will be shown the love of Jesus.

Answer 4

Well, Jesus said 'Come to me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28). So it seems that Jesus accepts all people - it's a 'come as you are party'. He doesn't say, however, that He won't start a process of change in many areas of your life once you come to Him.
In the church I am affiliated with, the attitude is not: 'how much have you changed?' but 'Are you willing to go through the process of change?' And that does not necessarily start with one's sexual orientation. There may be many other things that need to be dealt with that are more 'urgent'. Acceptance comes first. Change follows.

Answer 5

Nope. There's no church that accepts ALL people.

Membership in a religious organization is just another expression of the cave-man mentality that instinctively groups people into "Us" and "Other."

Therefore, even the most inclusive religion -- say, Universalist Unitarian, for example -- still has to exclude somebody, otherwise it wouldn't be a religion.

Having said that, there are of course a number of churches where nobody cares who you go to bed with.

Answer 6

According to the Bible homosexuality is a sin. If a church is a true christian church they should accept and love this person and pray they are delivered from homosexuality. I know many people who were delivered from homosexuality and live hedrosexual lives now they are married and have children and are very happy. They believe that God delivered them from this sin and are true born again christians.

Answer 7

From what I have heard, the United Methodist Church is very accepting of all groups, includings gays and lesbians.

Answer 8

Most Christian religions accept all people.

Now their actions they may not accept.

Reasonable, I think.

Church is for sinners, not the self righteous.

Answer 9

go to the web,search for Swami Muktananda Paramahamsa Read his synopsis. I met him and at his centers everyone was treated with respect. LOVE

Answer 10

I am sure there are some religious people of all religions who are intelligent enough to do that. For Christian, I would try the Episcopal church.
