Quirky church for spiritual refugees. Who would Jesus love?
Our missional priorities:
1. We do justice for LGBTQ+ humans, and support the people who love them.
2. We do kindness for people with mental illness and in emotional distress, and celebrate neurodiversity.
3. We do beauty for our God-Who-Is-Beautiful.
4. We do real relationship, no bullshit, ever.
5. We do whatever it takes to share this good news with the world God still loves.
This sermon was preached to a few hundred ministers at our biannual denominational event early on Monday morning. On Tuesday, we would face a vote concerning the inclusion of LGBTQ people in our church’s worship, work, and leadership. You’ll be able to guess how I voted.
