Many Churches support gay rights and welcome openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual individuals and couples into their congregations. Many also ordain openly GLBT persons to serve as pastors. And many do not.
What has been the response of your church and yourself to this summer's Gay Pride Festivals?

Yes, I'm a lesbian and I'm Christian and I was so very happy to see so many churches marching io the Portland parade, including mine! I was even more happy to see very good coverage of the event on the evening news and they quoted one of the ministers of a welcoming church!! They showed a true cross section of our community, some latin dancers, a family with kids, a marching band. See the video at the link below.

To the 1st question: No. between the handfuls of "church homes" in this section, i be attentive to of in basic terms a small proportion that extra healthful your description; especially because of the fact they fall below judgements of their hierarchy. I definitely have not darkened the door of a denominational company for twenty years and probable in no way will. that they had problems lengthy before issues have been given to this point of social dissolution. I definitely have worshiped with a type of fellowships by way of the years. the only i'm with now has a splash development and a committed pastor; a former gang chief. we've an open alter the place any sinner can come and repent. for that reason even gay pastors could be welcome.

The church I used to have to go to as a child would have simply considered it a non-issue. The parishioners had learned what the Bible says and they could quietly dismiss the activities as wrong, but none of their business. They may have emphasized the necessity of strong heterosexual relationships that last, but wouldn't have mentioned anything negative about the gay relationships.
It was a Catholic Church.
