I Love God and I’m Gay.
PUBLISHED: April 4, 2023
Jenny, co-pastor of a progressive Christian Church in Denver, talks frankly about her journey to reconcile her love of God, her lifelong devotion to ministry, and her identifying as being gay.
She says, “I feel God’s blessing on me as a gay person. This is what God wanted. This is not a mistake that we have to fix.”
As a secularist I do not hold the same beliefs as Pastor Jenny. However, I believe that she is one of the most genuine believers I have ever encountered. She is courageous in the face of evangelical criticism and her story is worth telling.
Being rejected by those who are called to love.

We’ll see how that works for them.

What the World Needs Now…
It’s not getting for Christmas
The Nativity story as found in the book of Luke gives a proclamation and a promise of “Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Men”
The message is so full of HOPE, but has christianity actually fulfilled that promise? And if not, where can we find HOPE of healing our broken world.

Evangelical Vs Progressive Christianity
What do they actually believe?
One would think that Christian churches would have almost the same doctrines. But that’s not what we found when we compared an evangelical mission statement with the beliefs of a progressive congregation. The differences are striking and reveal a conflicting view of the very nature of God. This will be a nine-part series looking at and comparing different elements of each congregation’s mission statement.
