It assumes there are only two possible responses to homosexual relationships - reconciliation or condemnation. <br /> <br /> First, I have friends and family members who are homosexual. We have reconciled our relationship and still disagree on the ethics of same-gender sex. <br /> <br /> Second, to be opposed to same-gender sexual relations is not to have an anti-gay bias. I love my uncle, who is gay. I believe it would be best for him to be celibate, but I'm not biased against him any more than I am biased against my mother for smoking cigarettes.

I don't think this movie is done from a Christian standpoint at all.<br /> <br /> Your comments after would be something I would tend to agree with, but I think both things you said incorporate reconciliation of a sort, not really the type that they are talking about though.

Sadly I won't have time to push something over before their deadline, but I will steal the idea as an exercise for myself. Co-pastorship sounds fairly obvious to me. Just in the sense that it so perfectly mirrors the life of the community in right relelation with itself and its neighbours. I'm also interested in the idea where as your church grows your 'staff' shrinks. that album cover projects looks like fun.
