Link. "An interesting talk on gays and lesbians and how the church should relate to them, by Tony and Peggy Campolo. Pretty well known dude (Tony) in Christian circles."
And here's the comment that I posted in response:
"I just went to the site, and I checked out an essay written by a guy named Justin, who supports same sex marriages for christians. The main points of interest for me were how we explain away some laws as cultural difference, and others not; and that the greatest commandment of all is to love. Like Andrew, I think that there's no easy answer to this one. One thing that I can easily stand firm on, however, is his conclusion:
"Most of all, pray. Pray every day for God's guidance in your life and for the wisdom and humility to admit when you're wrong. If you find that you disagree with fellow Christians, remember that they are still your brothers and sisters in Christ. And they may yet have something to teach you.
Follow Christ at all costs. Nothing matters more than that."
I highly recommend that you check out the site and read the essays/listen to the presentation. It raises a number of issues that certainly I have never thought about...

You sound a lot more sophisticated and credible with a pipe in yer big maw. Btw, Pudd's looking for a good pipe when he turns 19 next May. We were talking about getting a really long Gandalfian pipe and attaching a long, flowing, white beard to it. That way, when the pipe's in yer maw, you look like Gandalf! Add some fancy tobacco that makes different colours of smoke, and a tall, pointy blue-grey hat, and you could look like you actually ARE Gandalf!
