Yesterday at the 2010 Chicago Gay Pride Parade The Marin Foundation was rolling almost 30 deep (consisting of the scope of our organization from secular LGBT people, to gay Christians to celibate to ex-gay to liberal and conservative straight Christians to secular straight people) who were all wearing black shirts with the words I’m Sorry in white across the chest. This was, the I’m Sorry from the Church Campaign 2010. The point was to talk, engage, apologize, demonstrate what true reconciliation... Read more

In gearing up for The Marin Foundation’s two events at the Gay Pride Parade, Kevin Harris, Director of Community Relations for The Marin Foundation, wrote the following 2 Part Series to ask God to help us Bless the Street Preachers: “To be honest from the start, there are few things that cause my do not judge button to get jammed like a fire and brimstone street preacher. I am a pretty laid back person; alright a very laid back person,... Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? 6-23-10: Even Jesus got caught off guard by the astounding faith in his Lordship from those least expected to have it. Matthew 8:10 There are times when culturally accepted rituals of reverence for another’s life need to be put in perspective. Matthew 8:22 Peaceful rest comes with the internal satisfaction of a day faithfully lived. Matthew 8:23-34 Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

As many of you know, over the last four years The Marin Foundation has been running what has turned in to the largest national scientific research study ever done in the LGBT community regarding spirituality and religion. We have over 2,000 national participants from all 50 States (51 if you include DC), and neither one of those figures has ever been achieved before in a LGBT study on faith. Our study in coming to a conclusion August 1, 2010. We... Read more

The Marin Foundation is creating a new home on Facebook. We’re moving from a ‘group’ page to a ‘fan’ page, because it has more capabilities and no limit on numbers of people who can join. We’ll be closing down our old ‘group’ page at the end of the week. You can access our new page here. Join on in to spread this bridge building movement! Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? 6-22-10: Just because you stand in a garage and call yourself a car, even if everyone else is convinced you’re a car, doesn’t prove you’re actually a car. Matthew 7:21-23 True wisdom is recognized and revered by even those who don’t agree with you, and thus, that yields authority. Matthew 7:29 Jesus might not have agreed with the dominant religious culture of his day. But he did respect it. Matthew 8:4 Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

Over the last few months Warren Throckmorton (and I, part time) have been covering the Anti-Homosexual Bill in Uganda. Warren has been the world’s best investigative reporter on this, from interviewing Doug Coe (the head of The Family) to now, breaking news that an American church, Canyon Ridge Christian Church in Las Vegas, NV, has gone on record as being the only church that actually admits they financially support Martin Ssempa – the man in Uganda leading the charge to get this Kill... Read more
