Exploring the active engagement of bridging opposing worldviews
Today Scot McKnight, a good friend, well known theologian and the creater of the #1 rated emergent blog Jesus Creed, posted a response that he asked me to write regarding a letter he recived from a worship leader about a gay student in the worship team. You can check out the original letter here… And [...]
Here is Part 2 to DJ’s personal experience to how homosexuality in the church affects GLBT people. And DJ, thank you so much for sharing your life and thoughts with us, allowing us to enter into your head, worries, fears and understandings… “I don’t think people quite understand the pressure that the gay-oriented Christian feels [...]
I recently read an article by a national Christian organization claiming that having open gay and lesbian people serve in the military would be a threat to the congruency of our armed forces.

A friend of mine, Bart Campolo, brought this recent TIME Magazine article to my attention through his blog.

Since yesterday I have been asked quite a few times what my thoughts are regarding Obama’s choice of the first openly gay Episcopal Bishop, Gene Robinson, to give the Invocation at the Lincoln Memorial. Just like I believed that Obama strategically chose Rick Warren to publicly reach out in a bipartisan nature to the millions [...]
