DJ,

Thanks for starting the conversation! I agree with you - we need to get talking about this topic in a way that is not condemning, and offers real empowering options for people of faith.

Let us know how the evening goes...

Love your blog- I hope to return again...
Mark

Hey Joanna! Great to meet you at Q as well, though I didn't see you at the same Fermi Words post very often :) Thanks for the mention of the Marin Foundation, looks like a good resource.

Hey DJ-
Good to see you briefly at Q. Don't know if you have been subscribing to Fermi Words, but April's Short is on this topic. There's a guy named Andrew Marin (www.themarinfoundation.org) whose life is given to bridging this great divide between the church and GLBT community. I haven't met him personally, but his story and much of the info on the website deeply impressed me.

funny, we just talked about gen 19 yesterday in sunday school, homosexuality and homosexual rape. and last week i spoke at a retreat and fielded some questions about homosexuality and homosexual friends/lifestyles. i was involved with this ministry, streets.org, that taught me much about the gay community

Thanks DJ--- keep us updated on the short film and what happens. this issue hits so close to home...and I'm betting for every Christian leader who reads you, it hits closer than we know...this underlying issue is brewing with hundreds of thousands who are struggling and are afraid to break the silence.

Umm, we don't like to talk about controversial topics at our church or on my personal blog. :)

DJ, it was good to connect with you again in Seattle. Blessings...
