Adding this book to my cart now. Thank you both so much for bringing it to my attention. I so appreciate the content you're putting up and hearing your thoughts.
Thanks for highlighting this book! I read it in the past year and so appreciated learning from it. I’m always happy to see a new video pop up from you!
Yay, you're back! Makes my heart happy to see your vids. Such good points as always. What do you think are some ways that us LGBTQ Christians can reach out to church members that are struggling to love people who are different? How can we break down the stereotypes on which they justify their harmful behavior/reactions/statements? I always love flipping things around on them. Go against the preconceptions/expectations they have, and do exactly what they don't expect.
To me it's completely mystifying why anybody with the least self-respect would want to be part of a church like that. The fact that some (not all) Christians struggle with not judging despite obvious advice from their bible "do not judge lest you be judged" etc, etc, blah, blah, blah is absolutely extraordinary to me as practicing Hindu in a legacy christian country! Furthermore and even more to the point is the fact that a great many Christian denominations following the LIBERAL CHRISTIAN TRADITION ALREADY PERFORM SAME SEX MARRIAGE AND SO IT'S PROBABLY A HELL OF A LOT EASIER FOR THOSE GAY CHRISTIANS, etc to join those Christian communities from the get go and bypass the rest and just NOT get involved in THEIR DRAMAS and THEIR STRUGGLES! Go where you're best treated! By contrast in the Vedic/Sanatana Dharma/Hindu tradition their is absolutely no prohibition against Gay relationships and USA Mandirs (Hindu Temples) perform same sex marriage ceremonies and very much encourage full acceptance of sexual minorities. Not all Mandirs in all parts of the world take the same view and so sexual minorities may well be faced with having to look elsewhere if their needs are not accommodated more locally. It will be interesting to see how Mandirs in THAILAND respond to the new Same Sex Marriage laws coming into effect there this October 2024!
