Lisa and I were blessed to be members of a VERY gay(LBT) friendly church in New York. We attended Marble Collegiate Church on 5th Ave. This is the church that Norman Vincent Peale preached at for 50 something years. Although it is a very mainstream 5th. Ave church...(read dressy and formal)....it is also VERY progressive....(read women in the pulpit and socially active.) It was also VERY gay friendly with a social group for GLBT members of the church, many staff who were gay, committment ceremonies performed, gay and lesbian ushers, decons and elders. We even opened our doors wide and set up a table to serve thousands of bottles of water to thirsty marchers in the annual Gay Pride March held each year in June.
Now that we have moved, we are searching high and low for a gay friendly, yet somewhat traditional church here in Asheville. Although we have not found a church home yet we are finding some places that we will visit again.
So, do any of you attend church/synagouge? Are you out and accepted? Does your church/synagouge have a gay and lesbian group of any kind?
