Thank you to Think Out Loud for devoting a program to this situation.  I hope it might be viewed not so much as an issue of disagreement among church factions regarding gender and sexuality, but more about issues of inclusiveness within our society and culture at large.  It is in this larger context that I believe the most important work of the Church takes place. How will the members of the new St. Matthew's Anglican Church relate to the world -- and marginalized people -- beyond their church walls?
