One of the sadder parts of my journey has been the realization of how
much the Church has hurt so many by creating a perception that some
people are outcasts and are not welcome unless they change. I have seen
the looks of concern from some as I sported my Saint Mark team jersey.
On the days I wear it, I purposefully try to be extra kind, because I
realize I have a different role on those days. The link below is a
beautiful song - please ignore the article as I don't want politics to
get into this site. This site is about love and welcoming - not about
politics. This song is for all of the people who have given up on
Church. My plea - please don't.
"O, may our hearts and minds be opened,
fling the church doors open wide.
May there be room enough for everyone inside.
For in God there is a welcome,
in God we all belong;
may that welcome be our song."
