As I mentioned during announcements yesterday, Jenny and I are looking to lead a book study on God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships, a book that sets out a biblical case for affirming gay and lesbian men and women. As we’ve stated before, we’re not trying to change anyone’s mind we only want to begin a discussion (as opposed to a debate) in anticipation of the special called session of General Conference coming up in February of 2019 and we believe it would be helpful if both sides knew the biblical arguments for an affirming position (our assumption is that you already know the biblical arguments for the traditional, non-affirming position). So far we’ve had about six people express an interest. Let us know if you would like to be added to that list. Please call our cell phones or drop us a line at john@revcollins.com and/or jenny@revcollins.com.

Addition: during the discussion of God and the Gay Christian we plan to be present the traditional counter-arguments (to the best of our ability) so that participants can hear both sides.
