I really liked what Eric had to say here, because as I see it, this is where much of the most beneficial dialog can and should begin.

So many in the church avoid the Hot Zone, even to the extent of ignoring GLBT brothers & sisters in their own communities who need to be accepted or feel comfortable enough to open up and strengthen those church community family ties.

I see absolutely no better way to move forward than to begin to foster those relationships that are already in front of us week by week and day by day. Indeed, I think many Christians would be surprised to know who among them would love to open up and share their life and faith if given the opportunity, if trust can be gained.

I am thankful to Andrew Marin for writing his book "Love Is An Orientation" because it really opened my eyes and my heart, especially to fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who feel and/or are being marginalized by their own faith communities.

So, let the dialog begin...let's enter into those Hot Zones and make some true progress in the body of Christ!
