thinking people giving
I think people often come to the synagogue, mosque, the church looking for God, and what we give them is religion.
spiritual believe heart
It seems to me, then, that vulnerability and and self-disclosure are at the heart of what we understand about the nature of God. And the reason I believe gay and lesbian people are spiritual people is that we too have participated in vulnerability and self-disclosure, especially in the process of coming-out. When someone shares with you who they really, really are, it is a special offering. To do so when it risks rejection is a profound, holy gift.
jesus want sometimes
Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said if you want to save your life, you have to lose it.

I hope that I will be invited. I hope all of the African bishops will be there, because I think that's the way forward.
