A Welcoming Congregation -- Theolog Posting
Jason Byassee of the Christian Century and editor of the CC blog -- Theolog -- asked me to contribute to the blog and it is up now. It is a reflection on what it means to be a welcoming congregation. I invite you to check out the posting here and offer your comments. I'm interested in seeing where this conversation will go. By the way, yes this does have to do with gays in the church!

Keep struggling. New people come in, etc. and the struggle continues. Oh, since GLBT folks have been so "unwelcome" elsewhere, you may soon find yourself with a somewhat disproportionate membership as word gets around that yours is a "safe" church. We found that out, anyway.
