I think a lot of lay people just don't understand how to read the scriptures faithfully and get strung along with the fundagelicals and their literalism.<BR/><BR/>It's frustrating that full inclusion for LGBT people is taking so long to become a reality but I trust that it will happen even if it's going to take time.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime God has blessed LGBT people with your MCC.<BR/><BR/>And the vote was 54.6% to 45.4%.
