The article quotes Jaime Grant, the director of the Policy Institute of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.  &#8220;Without data, you have no community portrait, and without a portrait, you have no needs, [...]]]></description>

How many of us thought we had some kind of camouflage on?  Have we worn it so long it has stained our skin?  Is emotional, spiritual, relational camouflage so long  been a part [...]]]></description>

Further to my recent post on the &#8220;core&#8221; of the faith and those congregations voting to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the March 2010 issue of the Lutheran magazine has one entire News page devoted to this mess. From this source, a box with a fraying rope picture reports:

		<description><![CDATA[Associated Press had a feature story yesterday on the dissenters who are leaving the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America because of its increasingly liberal agenda. The story, which is even-handed if not totally sympathetic, highlights the experiences of several Lutheran churches—some small and some large— and pastors who have taken action to abandon their membership [...]]]></description>

Yes, I know they are in bed together, or they are really the same people. We’ve known that since the days of the Moral Majority (Hmmm. They still have a website [...]]]></description>

They present the case that there is constantly-increasing evidence supporting a biological basis for sexual orientation. There is no [...]]]></description>

Yes, we’ve been saying that human sexuality and homosexuality have been balkanizing America and preoccupying both religious and secular organizations and institutions. At least this crowd has decided not to be reactive but proactive in [...]]]></description>
