I'm much more interested in extending Christ's radical welcome to the rest of the world, caring for the disenfranchised, working to alleviate poverty and injustice.

Orthodox theologians respond, in a commendable but naïve attempt to rebut him, naïve because these theologians presume that reinterpreter believes his own arguments, and is writing as a scholar, not as a propagandist.

It made us proud to be Episcopalians. Quite frankly, Mother Susan, I really disagree with the emphasis so many people on both sides give to this issue. Some us are born attracted to the opposite sex and some are born attracted to the same sex. So what. This is neither good or bad. It just "is."
