The Anglican Communion meets at the end of this month to discuss the issue that some say threatens to divide the Episcopal Church from the more conservative arms of the Communion. My parents have been lifelong Anglicans (now Episcopalians here in the U.S.) and my mother, a Christian singer/songwriter, has many gay friends. I have been raised my whole life around same-sex couples, many of whom have just as much faith as my parents and even longer time together as couples. My heart tells me that God’s only concern is that we form a loving, monogamous relationship with one person, be it someone of the same sex or someone of the opposite sex. I do not believe homosexuality is a choice any more that I believe people choose to be short or tall. It is my heartfelt prayer that the church’s leaders will choose to continue to bless gay unions and place their values behind monogamy and long-term relationships rather than shaming or ignoring a huge segment of our population. I also believe that Rev. Lind is as qualified a candidate as the heterosexuals up for bishop of Chicago and I am hopeful that the leadership will see fit to let her continue as a candidate.
