A política e sua reversão são sobre uma conversa que a Igreja está tendo consigo mesma: uma espécie de “podemos encontrá-lo no meio do caminho” quando o “você” nem está na sala, e o “nós” representa um tipo de eco heterossexista. câmara.
Muitos, muitos ainda sofrem. Muitos foram rejeitados. Muitos foram expulsos e muitos choraram por muitos anos. Muitos se sentem excluídos.
Eu também vejo o momento presente com a crença de que Deus conhece tudo, ama a todos e fará todas as coisas certas. Desejo algum tipo de avaliação no aqui e agora, mas, na falta disso, acredito que uma história será contada.
There are things that are happening that I don’t know why or understand. But I know God does. I’m sure that if it was for our benefit, He’d let us know everything concerning His plan.
Three and a half years later, the degrading, painful, weaponized policy finally rescinds. There are many reasons to celebrate such a change, yet many of us are still hurting. Still, the institution has taken a step forward.
So what do I do with all of this? What do I do when a church leader says something that doesn’t feel right in my mind and in my heart and yet I feel that he’s been called of God? What do I do when I deeply fear being erased and then I’m embraced and loved? Those aren’t easy questions to answer.
I would love in my lifetime for the church of my family and my upbringing to be fully affirming. We’re not there yet, but let the trend be our friend today. Let’s be happy with the progress, the open-mindedness, and the enlightenment (in my opinion), that’s happened. We will see what the future brings.
I made a conscious decision many years ago to celebrate every positive step made by my church, and not to become lost and distracted by things I didn’t understand or agree with.
What is important to me today is the knowledge that God, my Eternal Father, loves me as I am. I am sure that he was not the one who instructed church leaders to exclude the children of same-sex couples.
