Here's how Ed dealt with the Oprah experience in his sermon this morning:
You can see the whole sermon on the All Saints website -- I particularly liked what he calls "God's Politics of Love."
.
Sister Joan Chittister famously said, "We are each called to go through life reclaiming the planet an inch at a time until the Garden of Eden grows green again." Reflecting on that journey -- a blog at a time -- is the focus of this site.
SOME COMMENTS ABOUT COMMENTS: •Feel free to disagree, but if you disagree, give a reason. • Please stay with the thread -- the place to post long articles on other topics is your own blog. • Challenging ideas will get a conversation going; attacking individuals will get a comment deleted.•
FINALLY: If you comment, your words are yours to do with as you please, but I reserve the right to cite them in other contexts.
It is obvious that All Saints parish has its own gift from God, in the person of the Rev Ed Bacon.

It did seem Oprah was having trouble getting her head around the difference in believing that folks are just born gay, so we need to accept that, and believing that we are born gay because our sexuality is a Gift from God.
This is so thoughtful and kind, I just love him!
ReplyDeleteI just love that big, white straight guy because he loves everybody.
ReplyDeleteThank You, Rev. Bacon. As a Georgia Pastor who also preaches the Inclusive Love and Affirmation of God for All People, I know how difficult it is to take a stand against religious prejudice. But you are walking in the footsteps of Jesus. Be encouraged!
