2017.02.12.Tradition!

I stood there somewhere between stunned and in awe. The infant’s hand was smaller that my thumbnail, her entire head barely the size of my inner palm. I had never seen a person so small, so fragile - so literally close to God and creation in the measurement of tic-toc time and kairos. Everything inside of me shifted.

2017.02.12. Forgiveness and Pardon

Jesus’ words were to the community of his followers. He was telling his followers that if you are going to be a part of this, your life will be different. Your actions will be different. Your fears will be different. Your joy - beyond your expectation.

Out Spoken in the PC(USA)

The Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (USA) now stands as one of the most powerful documents of faith for the full inclusion of the LGBTQ/Queer community on the face of the planet. So, with the profound advances that have been made in the last several years and the need for the message we have to share - what makes us so timid about shouting this from the rooftops? The short video and audio talks about these things and more, adding my voice to the witness that hopefully will grow - invitin...

So, essentially you’re married, but you’re not married.” So, the contract was alr...

Helene Loper

I’m Helene Loper. I’m from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I was born, baptized, raised, confirmed and Presbyterian trained, but my own story is that I was outed while I was in seminary by someone who was in the closet. The Presbytery Committee on Preparation for Ministry did not tell me that was the issue for why they were not wanting to approve my candidacy. When I finally figured out what the problem was, it was right before I was starting my senior year. So, I came out, but in the process I had to leav...

Marvin Ellison and Dan Smith

Dan and Marvin provide a critical glimpse into the time when they both served on the Presbyterian Special Committee on Human Sexuality between 1998 and 1991. This report is timely and as challenging today as it was then, especially in light of the possibilities in a better understanding of who we are and the opportunities to influence the church and society, as a result of recent changes in the Presbyterian Church USA and elsewhere.
