 Allies' Voices
From a letter Carol Lynn Peason sent to the Deseret News December 2006 The ripping apart of churches over the issue of homosexuality is a sad thing to see. But it pales in comparison to the ripping apart of families. We look to our religious leaders for guidance. When they condemn our children, we feel we must condemn them as well. When they excommunicate our children, we feel our families must do the same. What if the One to whom all churches are dedicated grieves mightily at these divisions? What if we, churches and families alike, remembered that, in the words of Rabbi Harold Kushner, "The task of any religion is to teach us whom we're required to love, not whom we're entitled to hate." What if we actually used the great power of all our religions not to divide but to unite? What a headline that would make! Carol Lynn Pearson |
