OMG Colby- I did not think about this at all. I have had conversations with my kids (and grandkids who are old enough) about the theological problems I had with the church I served as the Women & Children’s/Care & Recovery Pastor for 25 years. I even offered amends for teaching them that they were born separated from God, needed to say a magic prayer to go to heaven and that the Bible was literally the Word of God. But because we had always “accepted” LGBTQ+ people to worship with us, I didn’t take the time to explain to them about FULL inclusion. My current Community is a full inclusion church and is very upfront and specific about their meaning. I need some more conversations.
Colby..Your Books and ministry helped me get through some deeply painful, even dark times. I am grateful and supportive of You. Healers/Leaders need as much, or more, emotional & spirit ual support. especially our Pastors. I look forward to what comes next for You.
Colby, will you be speaking at other NC churches this summer?
