DEAR GAY ANGLINS LETTER
He wr, “…homosexualy has bee an inty, not jt a s… We, as the church, mt strive to treat those who stggle wh this s wh more re, and those the LGBT muny wh more Christlike love. Some argue for the term of “gay Christian.
Among those who advote for the term gay Christian ( should be noted that there is diversy of theologil opn here), some argue that the word “gay” is a more ntemporary synonym for same-sex attracted. Others pos that “gay” is ed as a scriptor rather than a fer. Gog eper, some employ a very nuanced argument that while gay lt is sful, gay attractn self need not be ltful but n reprent an athetic appreciatn of bety and a sire for chaste iendship.
Many wh this muny g the term gay Christian argue that the phrase “same-sex attractn” is unknown among the larger LGBT muny and, therefore, lacks need missn engagement.
