I feel blessed to pastor a church that is recognized in the community as LGBTQI-friendly. (For those who, like me, don’t usually use initials other than when texting, that’s “lesbian/gay/bi-sexual/transgender/questioning/intersex.” If you don’t know what it all means, which is understandable, I recommend: the Internet.)

I believe I am fulfilling God’s calling by serving on a task force to address issues of gay teen suicide and acceptance in Fort Worth.  If you are a non-Christian, you may look at this and think, “Of course. How can anyone who believes in a loving God do anything else?”A Personal Journey, 1: How A Teenage Evangelical Came to See That God Loves Gays
