IF MY HEART WERE A HOUSE YOU\u2019D BE HOME BY NOW<\/span>: More welcome mats for new readers! If you\u2019re in the DC area, you might check out the Always Our Children group at St. Matthew\u2019s Cathedral<\/a>. It\u2019s named after the US bishops\u2019 document for parents of gay children<\/a>. We have support groups on the second Sunday of every month, from 3.30 to 5.15, usually in the conference room you reach by going down some steps on the left side of the cathedral (not the parking lot side).<\/p>\n

The group is pretty awesome, guys. We have people from all points on the broad spectrum of views about Church teaching on sexuality, and we work hard to support one another and find common ground without glossing over differences. Parents (or other family members, or friends) who have questions or struggles around their children\u2019s sexual orientation are especially encouraged to come in, but we also do a brisk business in support and discussion and camaraderie for g\/l Catholics and fellow travelers.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
